Lara Trump called President Joe Biden's border response "disgraceful," claiming the president was responsible for promoting a dangerous situation for those living in border communities.
"I don't know what to tell the people that live at the southern border. I guess they better arm up, get guns, and be ready, and maybe they're going to have to start taking matters into their own hands," she told Fox News's Jeanine Pirro Saturday night. "It should never happen. These people should never make this dangerous journey here."
Trump's remarks brought criticism from many on the Left, who said her call to arms repeated statements from her father-in-law ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill insurrection.
