WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined On Balance with Leland Vittert on NewsNation to discuss President Trump's successful first year back in office, and the right of law enforcement to defend themselves.
"When people start filing their tax returns in a couple of months, they're going to start seeing bigger tax refunds because of no tax on tips, no tax on overtime":
"Wages adjusted for inflation under Joe Biden were down and severely down. Families were falling way behind. In Donald Trump's first year back in the White House, wages adjusted for inflation is actually up. GDP growth the last two quarters [is] skyrocketing. Investments are being made in the United States. When people start filing their tax returns in a couple of months, they're going to start seeing bigger tax refunds because of no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. Crime in the country [is] significantly down because the President's back and we didn't even get to foreign policy."
"If somebody drove their car at another human being, does that human being have the right to defend themselves? The answer is unequivocally yes":
"Let's be clear. There's not a Republican in the country that wanted to see Renee Good lose her life. But let's also be clear. She decided to put her foot on the accelerator when there was a law enforcement official right in front of her car. It doesn't matter if it was an ICE agent, Secret Service agent, border security agent, sheriff in the state of Florida, or the state of Minnesota, or your local cop in your local community. If anybody decides that they are going to drive their car directly at a law enforcement official, you are taking your life into your own hands... Again, nobody wants to see Renee Good or any other American lose their life. But let's also be clear on this. Put law enforcement aside. If somebody drove their car at another human being, does that human being have the right to defend themselves? The answer is unequivocally yes. And that's the problem with the media, because the media doesn't want to report about the reality of what happened on the ground. They want to sensationalize for the purpose of diminishing President Trump when he is winning for the American people, and he's right on the issues."
