      Paraphrasing: The homegrowns are next. We gotta get rid of the homegrown criminals. You gotta build about 5 more places.

        There’s no context…

        I hate the guy too, and I’m certain he wants to kill us all, but I don’t think he’s dumb enough to be so cavalier in front of cameras and mics to say such a thing.

        He could be talking about the rose garden for all we know.

        This is eerily similar to the uncomfortable photos taken of Biden where it looks like he’s looking down a 13yos blouse when in reality it was just impeccable timing as he turned his head. You take thousands of photos a day of a guy, eventually you’re gonna come up with a few that look pervy.

          He was speaking to the president of El Salvador in regards to building more supermax prisons to incarcerate “homegrown” criminals. He repeated it on camera. The only difference with the hot mic is the scale that he failed to mention on camera.

          He was asked about it directly by reporters, sending US citizens to El Salvadorian prisons. He said he wanted to and there have been multiple confirmations that the White House is exploring this.
