During a bizarre episode with guest Rep. Pramila Jayapal on Reid’s new YouTube show, she even floated the idea of deporting the president’s children.
The pair were discussing comments made by President Donald Trump during his visit to Alligator Alcatraz in Florida last week.
According to a report from Mediaite:
“His remarks followed a memo issued by a lawyer for the Department of Justice, which gives U.S. Attorneys broad discretion over whether to initiate denaturalization proceedings against criminal defendants. This week, Trump also threatened New York Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, who, the president baselessly alleged, may be ‘here illegally.’ Mamdani, who is a Muslim of South Asian descent, was born in Uganda.”
Reid responded by suggesting that the First Lady could be targeted “if we ever get a Democratic president.”
“If you give the president of the United States monarchical-like powers to say, ‘I don’t like your views, I don’t like your take on issues, I don’t like that you’re too liberal, you’re not conservative enough, I’m just gonna take away your naturalized citizenship,’ well… if we ever get a Democratic president, they could say, ‘I don’t like Melania Trump,” Reid said.
“She wasn’t born here. She was born in Slovenia.”
“She is a naturalized citizen. She’s outta here.”
