“Yeah, I think that everyone’s like, ‘Oh my God, we’re going to just release everybody,’” Tlaib replied. “That’s not what I’m—”
“That’s what the act says,” Swan clapped back.
“Yeah, but did you see how many people are mentally ill that are in prison right now,” Tlaib said in response.
“No, I know,” Swan said. “But the act you endorsed actually says release everyone in 10 years. … There are like, human traffickers, child sex [predators]. Do you mean that you don’t actually support that? Because you endorsed the bill.”
“What I’m trying to understand is, your proposal is so sweeping,” Swan said. “It does release everyone.”
“Oh, yeah, within 10 years,” Tlaib explained. “Obviously there’s a process of looking at how we can get away from mass incarceration and move toward care first.”
Following Tlaib's interview, she was roasted by some hosts on Fox News' "The Five," including Jesse Watters. After co-host Dana Perino played a clip of Tlaib's interview with Swan, she made a reference to the recent tragedy in Waukesha, Wis., where a suspect drove an SUV through a Christmas parade, killing six and injuring more than 60 others, saying, “On the very same day that this is happening, the squad is advocating for even more reforms of this sort.”“The congresswoman’s an idiot, and she has power, so that makes her a very dangerous idiot,” Watters responded, noting as live footage of the Waukesha suspect, career criminal Darrell Brooks in court, was playing that the suspect was pushing “a lot of anti-Trump, anti-capitalism content” online, as well as “wacky conspiracy theories about Jews and Hitler.”
