They will be deported.”

“They don’t care about protecting the safety and the lives of women across this country,” she advised Breitbart News. “President Trump is right again to call out this new wave of migrant crime that we’re seeing in communities in suburban America, urban America, even rural America.”
NFRW President Julie Harris praised Leavitt whereas talking solely with Breitbart News following the keynote deal with.
“We felt like Karoline represented women well, not just Republican women but American women. She spoke about the issues that are key,” Harris stated. “You talk about Republican women issues; those issues are really American issues, but it’s all in how you present them to women – it’s in the messaging, what appeals to women.”

Breitbart News requested Harris how a lot of a bonus it offers Republicans and the NFRW to have the social gathering united, now, in March, behind a presumptive nominee in Trump versus months down the line when presidential nominees sometimes emerge from massive main fields.
