Appearing on CNN's The Situation Room Monday, Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) complained that President Trump has made everyone who "crosses the border undocumented" into a criminal. Menendez also complained that "if a person has a driving while under the influence violation, he is now making, saying that's a criminal."  How awful.  Menendez apparently didn't consider the fact that American citizens face criminal charges for driving under the influence.  Blitzer had the opportunity to push back on Menendez for falsely asserting that people who cross the border illegally, or especially illegal immigrants who drive drunk, are not criminals.  However, he did not. He instead asked Menendez if Democrats would share the blame for a government shutdown because of their ridiculous demand to cap the number of beds ICE can use.  Menendez recycled some more Democratic talking points before Blitzer switched to one of the Democrats' favorite topics: Russia.
