On CNN Newsroom Monday morning, anchor Poppy Harlow barely pressed Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal about liberal, anti-ICE protesters threatening Republican leader Mitch McConnell over the weekend. While Jayapal has been a vocal supporter of abolishing ICE, she didn’t condemn the harassment, and actually seemed to justify it.

Towards the end of the 9:00am EST hour on CNN, Harlow invited the Democrat on to gush about how difficult it has been to reunite illegal immigrant families, and how we didn’t need ICE anymore. Towards the end of the conversation, Harlow finally pressed Jayapal slightly on an issue she should’ve had no problem condemning.
