Mitch McConnell doubled down on the need for hearings into birthright citizenship and says he is "not aware of anyone who's come out for altering the 14th Amendment."
Steve Benen has an alert for him:
Maybe McConnell should give Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) a call.
"Birthright citizenship I think is a mistake.... We should change our Constitution and say if you come here illegally and you have a child, that child's automatically not a citizen."
Asked how intent Graham is on introducing the amendment, the South Carolina Republican responded: "I got to."
McConnell isn't aware of "anyone who's come out for altering the 14th Amendment"? When a high-profile member of his own caucus told a national television audience on the Republicans' own cable news network "we should change our Constitution," that seems to qualify.
Yeah, I'd say it qualifies.
