I wish more Republicans were like Rep. Labrador. After Jeh Johnson’s pathetic spin job on Meet the Press, Labrador was the guest up next. When he came on, he called Johnson and NBC shameful, and told David Gregory that Meet the Press should just change their name to ‘Making Stuff UP’ for Obama officials. Watch the following:
Boom! Rep. Labrador Tells David Gregory ‘Meet The Press’ is Obama ‘Making Stuff Up’ [VIDEO] |

Idaho Republican Rep. Raul Labrador got into a testy exchange on Sunday’s “Meet the Press” with host David Gregory over the issue of immigration reform and what to do with the thousands of unaccompanied children who have come to the U.S. illegally from Central America.
Before Labrador came on the program, Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson was on the program to discuss the same issues. The appearance prompted the congressman to suggest that “Meet the Press” needs to change its famous slogan.
“I kept thinking [during the Johnson interview] that you need to change your slogan at the beginning of your show,” Labrador stated. “Instead of, ‘If it’s Sunday, it’s Meet the Press,’ it should be ‘If it’s Sunday, it’s another administration official making stuff up on Meet the Press.’ It’s really shameful.”
That didn’t sit well with Gregory, who demanded to know what Johnson had made up during his appearance.
“Look at what he said. He said the number one reason these children are coming to the United States is because of the violence in these Central American countries. The reality is that the violence has existed in these Central American countries for a long period of time,” Labrador responded.
