Tea Party Crowd Cheer As GOP Rep. Tells Young Girl Her Father Must Be Deported

A Tennessee Tea Party Republican state legislator heartlessly told a scared little girl at a Tea Party town hall meeting on Thursday in Murfreesboro, TN that “laws are laws” and that America has no choice but to deport her undocumented father, after 11-year-old Josie Molina told state Rep. Scott Desjarlais (R) that she has citizenship papers but her father doesn’t.

During the Q&A, little Josie stepped up to the microphone and timidly asked, “Mr. DesJarlais, I have papers, but I have a dad who’s undocumented. What can I do to have him stay with me?”

Instead of showing some empathy for this terrified little girl, he callously responded, “Thank you for being here and thank you for coming forward and speaking,” but “the answer still kind of remains the same, that we have laws and we need to follow those laws and that’s where we’re at.”

Of course, this sent the Tea Party crowd into a cheering frenzy, as they applauded loudly as the little girl took her seat with her head bowed low. Adding insult to injury, the father is currently in the process of being deported and that the girl is seeing a child psychologist in order to cope with the stress and anxiety.

Why is is that the Tea Party seems to enjoy the suffering of the less fortunate? Sure, “laws are laws”, but why in the world would a crowd lack the empathy to at least show a bit of respect for this unfortunate little girl that is about to see her father shipped to another country through no fault of her own? If someone doesn’t have insurance, “let em die”, if someone can’t afford to eat “cut off the freeloader’s food stamps”, and now, if a little girl is about to have her father deported, let’s tell her it’s simply tough luck and cheer as she slumps back to her seat.

If he ever shades the law or has a son or daughter get in trouble with the law or tries to influence a court case or prosecutor or law enforcement officer, hammer him with this.
