North Carolina amnesty pimp Rep. Renee Ellmers, who read the tea party wave to election in 2010 had an epic meltdown on the Laura Ingraham radio show as she tried to defend her support for amnesty. Ingraham owned Ellmers, and exposed her for the big government, big business, amnesty pimp she really is. Ellmers lost it. Renee Ellmers called Laura Ingraham “small minded,” “ignorant,” and claimed to be the author of a ubiquitous immigration talking point, adopting the third person to say “Renee Ellmers thinks for herself.” Below is the audio clip of Ellmers’ meltdown, provided by Breitbart:

Ellmers, under fire on amnesty from calm but insistent questioning from Ingraham, called her host “small minded,” “ignorant,” and claimed to be the author of a ubiquitious immigration talking point, adopting the third person to say “Renee Ellmers thinks for herself.”
The epic bout began when Ingraham brought up Ellmers’ primary challenger Frank Roche and asked why she supports a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens. While Ellmers initially denied supporting amnesty, she eventually backed legal status and said “We have to deal with those who are here illegally, who are living in the shadows. That’s what we have to deal with.”
“What you just said is infuriating to my listeners,” Ingraham responded. “I’m speaking for them right now. Your responsibility, I’d imagine, is to your constituents who are legal residents and American citizens, whose lives are slipping away from them right now.”
Ellmers jumped back in to argue that amnesty for illegal aliens would help her constituents because aliens aren’t paying taxes.
“Let’s look at it from a law enforcement perspective alone,” Ellmers continued after a back-and-forth with Ingraham. “If we had a system in place where individuals who are here illegally admit that they have broken the law, pay a penalty, pay a fine, go through a process that would be lengthy—I mean this isn’t something that would happen overnight.”
“Laura, my point there is someone isn’t just going to walk into an office and walk out with earned legal status,” Ellmers added a short time later.
