Has he made any effort to criticise or stand up to to ICE or is it all passive and about himself?

This guy screams lying bullshitter.
no hes doesnt, hes defending renee's murder, johnaton ross. plus TRump is only dialing back ICE because he suddenly dropped out of the race.
He’s probably pulling out because of polling, but regardless, I appreciate him blaming the GOP immigration policies.
more than likely , hes defending johnathon ross as his defense attorney.
I'm always amazedpeople keep having new lines they cannot cross. I really just assumed that if you were gonna vote for Mr. "Grab 'm by the pussy", you were already AOK with basically anything, as long as it came from the party of Reagan.
You did though, it's not a new part of the GOP.
If you registered as a Republican in the last 60 years, that is exactly what you signed up for. You joined the nazis and you knew.
Many places have or had in the past closed primaries, meaning you can only vote as a registered party member. I wouldn't complain if people had registered to try and influence from within the system, though that is an uphill battle that may not be worth it and can backfire. Pushing for a weak candidate to try and get the opposition elected is how we got Trump's first term.
This is why I'm registered republican this year
I'm living in Utah, so midterms are automatically going to whatever name has "Rep." next to it. If I want to influence anything at all, I need to be able to vote on whose name that is
"This is what I voted for."
They say smuggly

This guy is just blowing out because he'd get slaughtered. Just quitting to fight another day.
On the one hand, better late than never.
On the other, the Republican party has been the party of maximum scumbag since like Nixon.
Maximum scumbag would make a good name for a horse.
I don't care what the odds are, $20 on Maximum Scumbag in the 4th
He knows he has exactly zero chance of winning the state when his party is the one sending murdering thugs to it's streets. Now he gets to pretend to be a good person and avoid an embarrassing loss.
Exactly.
No chance of winning so why bother running. Steal what credibility you can and save your effort of sunnier weather.
It sounds like vote forecast rather than a moral awakening.
Conservatives only have an demon and a devil on their shoulders. They only question the approach for committing evil.
If he's still a Republican, all he had is a pang of guilt, not a sudden onset of conscience.
It's a start though.
he also defending Johnathon ross, so no not a conscience.
I’ll take what I can get at this point
Good Republicans don't stay Republican for long
Reminds me when Cawthorn was expelled from the party because he ratted them out about the cocaine and orgies.
Like thats where he draws the line. Everything else was fine.
They draw the line at spilling secrets about other Republicans. Remember this hit from Trump's last term?
“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” said McCarthy, R-Calif., according to the report.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., has said policymakers in Washington have been too harsh on Russia and should work more closely with Moscow to fight extremist groups.
McCarthy’s comment prompted laughter from some Republicans in the room.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., told his colleagues to not share the remarks, the Post reported.
“No leaks, all right? This is how we know we’re a real family here,” Ryan reportedly said.
It doesn't matter what happens behind closed doors, as long as you don't talk about what happens there.

The guy got blowback for being Jonathan Ross' attorney right now. Conscience my ass.
true, even if dint a Republican isnt going to win the govorner race anyways. thats why the gop having been upping the propaganda that minnesota is a fraud/immigration ridden state. thats why people saw walz as being weak and "do-nothing"
This exactly. Fuck him and fuck Jonathan Ross.
He took one step in the right direction. ONE STEP. That’s better than nothing, but he’s got a long way to go.
Note to the reactionaries about to diss this guy: He said "Hispanics and Asian" people. Not black people.
So he could be telling the truth 🤔

He's representing the fascist assassin Jonathan Ross....
I didn't know Ross was being charged, I figured Trump had opted to just give him a medal and a paid vacation.
i think i saw on reddit Madel wrote a memo on how to get "ross legal help form the DOJ or another legal firm and would be totally covered pro-bono" hes a total pos
Show me a consistent framework of justice where it was okay for John Adams to represent the guys who did the Boston Massacre but that guy (who is a shitbag who murdered someone) shouldn’t be represented.
I agree, he’s a murderer and should be prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law. But representation is part of that law.
How are so many people in this thread saying “yes, Trump bad” but also “I want to do exactly what Trump does but to other people instead”
The implication (I hope) is that noone is representing him that isn't a public defender. This man should be so socially radioactive that only the lawyers ordered by the court consider it.
I'm not saying this is what it's happening here, but I swear I recall a story of a lawyer who knew his client was guilty and wanted him to be put away for life, but defended them to the best of his ability to ensure that they wouldn't get a mistrial on the basis of Ineffective Assistance of Counsel.
Half the country thinks he was actively defending himself from an active shooter. They’re wrong, obviously. But to suggest that social pressure should make him unrepresentable is ridiculous.
You did in fact, sign up for that
Lets not pretend that he's grown a conscience. What he doesn't want is a humiliating defeat that would tarnish any dreams of a legacy he wants going forward. They will be back just not at this very moment whilst the party is super unpopular there.
It took until now for that to sink in? This isn’t morality, this is simply jumping ship after taking way too fucking long to read the room. This is a scared rat on a sinking boat, nothing more.

A sliver of one at least.
Nah, a republican looking at the optics, saying some good words, and hiding for a bit.
