'They Don't Care': Watch As Dems Tell on Themselves Big Time During Hearings on Illegal Immigration
The article portrays Ross’s objection to holding the hearing as dismissive of families’ testimony.

SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYRedState is an opinion-oriented political outlet, and this article uses strongly partisan language and framing. The byline is identified, but the article provides little original verification beyond embedded political clips and an attributed DHS claim.
- Source type — The article is published by a politically opinionated outlet, which lowers confidence in neutral institutional standards.
- Editorial standards — The article’s overtly partisan language and campaign-ad recommendation suggest opinion-led presentation rather than neutral reporting.
- Author attribution — A named author, Sister Toldjah, is identified.
The article includes identifiable hearing clips and attributes one licensing claim to DHS, but relies heavily on partisan social-media posts, offers little context for the lawmakers’ remarks, and presents no response or competing perspective.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The article is overwhelmingly critical of Democrats and does not provide their explanations or responses in context. Its sources are primarily Republican-aligned social-media accounts and an attributed government claim.
- Counterarguments presented — No substantive defense or response from the criticized lawmakers is included.
- Loaded language — Repeatedly uses condemnatory language to frame the lawmakers’ conduct.
- Source diversity — Relies on clips and posts from Republican and GOP committee accounts, with little independent sourcing.
The article strongly favors the Republican position on immigration and characterizes Democratic lawmakers in accusatory terms. Its concluding appeal explicitly recommends using the clips in Republican campaign advertising.
- Language tone — Uses disparaging terms such as “callous,” “despicable,” and “SICK.”
- Framing — Frames the lawmakers’ comments as proof of indifference toward victims and vulnerable children.
- Headline — The headline asserts that Democrats “tell on themselves” and uses a provocative quotation.
A strongly partisan RedState article criticizes Reps. Summer Lee and Deborah Ross for comments at immigration hearings and says Democrats skipped a separate hearing on unaccompanied migrant children. It urges Republicans to use the clips in campaign ads ahead of the midterms.
The article describes a House hearing on sanctuary policies, highlighting Marcus Coleman’s rejection of lawmakers’ expressions of sympathy. It criticizes Rep. Summer Lee for saying deporting criminal undocumented immigrants would not make communities safer, and Rep. Deborah Ross for questioning why the hearing was being held. It also recalls Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s remarks at an earlier hearing on the same subject.
