Republican U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has publicly called out NBC News for its recent coverage of President-elect Donald Trump’s remarks on birthright citizenship. Lee accused the network of selectively presenting portions of the 14th Amendment during Trump’s interview on Meet the Press, thereby skewing the discussion about his plans to end birthright citizenship through executive action.
Trump’s Comments on Birthright Citizenship
During his appearance on Meet the Press, Trump described birthright citizenship as “ridiculous” and vowed to terminate it on his first day in office. Host Kristen Welker challenged the assertion, referencing the 14th Amendment:
“The 14th Amendment states all persons in the United States are citizens. Can you get around the 14th Amendment with executive action?”
