Senator Marco Rubio presented the following hypothetical situation about a possible future Democrat president, as Hot Air reported earlier this week:

As for Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu, he’s opposed to Trump declaring a national emergency at the border and has called it a “made up” crisis:
"This national emergency is completely made up."
