I can't find what program she was on when she said it - she got in a tiff on the senate floor that day by speaking out of term and personally calling out the President, but this quote I can't find.

If she had really said it, it would be reported far and wide. Yet a web search doesn't turn up that quote. You really should self-delete if the claim can't be supported.

If Mexican food is banned than only criminals will eat Mexican food. And I would be one of those criminals. You'll pry my jar of salsa from my cold dead hands.
