A resurfaced video clip appears to show Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., claiming she needs more immigrants in her district "just for redistricting purposes," causing significant concern and outrage from conservatives online.The video, from a 2021 House Foreign Affairs Committee briefing, shows long-time Democrat Clarke suggesting that the local Haitian community in Brooklyn could "absorb a significant number of these migrants.""When I hear my colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of the inn being closed, no room in the inn, Im saying, you know, I need more people in my district, just for redistricting purposes and those members could clearly fit here," said Clarke.In response, Kyle Becker, an author and political commentator, commented on X, "House Rep. Yvette Clarke just said the quiet part out-loud. Democrats are as anti-American as it gets."ERIC ADAMS RESPONDS TO TOM HOMAN PLEDGE TO FLOOD THE ZONE WITH ICE AGENTS AFTER CBP SHOOTING"It is madness that American citizens are footing the bill for foreigners to come here, use our social services, our education services, our infrastructure, and then retire at our expense," Becker went on. "All because the anti-American Democratic Party wants a few extra seats in Congress. Enough!"Popular conservative account "End Wokeness" also commented on the video, saying, "This is how you hijack democracy.""Dems have been saying the quiet part out loud for years," commented conservative influencer David Freeman."This is why the imported MILLIONS. They want to have a one party country," he added.DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN BLASTS ICE AS A 'PARAMILITARY FORCE'New York City, which is heavily Democratic, has earned significant criticism in the past for moving to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. Earlier this year, the New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, blocked such a law that had been passed by the New York City Council in 2021 and would have allowed nearly a million noncitizens to vote in elections, including for mayor and city council.In response to the resurfaced clip, some renewed calls for the legislature to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility "SAVE" Act, which was introduced by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, earlier this year. The bill would require individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.Additionally, the bill stipulates that states must remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters as well as impose criminal penalties for registering an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.CHILLING VIDEO ALLEGEDLY SHOWS ILLEGAL MIGRANT DRAGGING SCREAMING SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIM BACK TO CAPTIVITYThe bill has passed the House but has yet to be taken up by the Senate.Fox News Digital reached out to Clarkes office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil appeared to refuse to explicitly condemn the terrorist group Hamas and instead took issue with the "selectivecondemnation" of the plight of the Palestinian people during an interview on Tuesday.In response to a question from CNNs Pamela Brown on whether he would "specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their actions on October 7th," Khalil appeared to try to avoid denouncing the terrorist organization."I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop,"Khalil told Brown.Brown interjected during Khalil's answer, asking him, "But do you condemn Hamas specifically?"NEWLY RELEASED MAHMOUD KHALIL SPOTTED BACK AT ANTI-ISRAEL PROTEST AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY"Im very clear with condemning all civilians. Im very straight in my position in that, in that part," Khalil said."But its disingenuous to ask about condemning Hamas while Palestinians are the ones being starved now by Israel."Khalil is a graduate student at Columbia University who was released on bail from an immigration detention center in June following anorder by U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz, who said it was "highly, highly unusual" to keep a legal U.S. resident in custody who doesnt have accusations of violent offenses or that he's a possible flight risk.He was arrested in March at Columbia over his anti-Israel activism on campus, and animmigration judge ruled he could be removed from the country based on a memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that said his campus protests were not aligned with U.S. foreign policy interests.The Department of Homeland Security has also said that Khalilpurposely did not reveal that he was employed by the Syrian office in the British Embassy in Beirut when he applied for permanent U.S. residency.Instead of condemningHamas,Khalil talked about violence against Palestinians.ANTI-ISRAEL RINGLEADER MAHMOUD KHALIL POSTS $1 BOND AFTER FEDERAL JUDGE RULES TRUMP ADMIN CAN'T DETAIN HIM"Its not condemning October 6th, where 260 Palestinians were killed by Israel on October, before October 7th,"Khalil said. "So I hate this selective outrage of condemnation, because this wouldnt lead to a constructive conversation. And this is also like what we want to deal with is the root causes of why that happened. And, and its in no way anyone can justify."Brown pressedKhalil, asking him "whether you condemn Hamas because the Trump administration has claimed that you are a Hamas sympathizer.""Thats what I did," Khalil said. "Thats my duty as a Palestinian, as a human being right now, is to ask for the stop of the killing in my home country. And thats consistent with who I am. Im a firm believer in international law and human rights and all my values come from that point."Its just like to me disingenuous and absurd to ask such questions when literally 62,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel, and thats why I wouldnt really engage in much into such questions on condemnation or not. Because selective condemnation is not, wouldnt get us anywhere. Its just like hypocrite, to be honest."In a statement to Fox News Digital, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, "It shouldnt be difficult to condemn a heinous terrorist organization that is responsible for brutal acts of rape, murder, and torture against innocent people but apparently it is for Khalil."Jackson added that "While in the United States, Khalil has consistently engaged in conduct detrimental to American foreign policy interests, including ongoing support for Hamas and harassment of Jewish students on campus. All of the Democrat politicians who have been embracing Khalil must explain why they are supporting someone who cant even condemn terrorists."Fox News Digital reached out to Khalils lawyer for comment.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper showed up to support CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert on Monday night, appearing in a segment that took aim at the parent company of "60 Minutes" and President Donald Trump.CBS announced last week that itwas canceling"The Late Show" and that Colbert's stint in late night will end in May 2026. While the network insisted the cancellation was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,"many skeptics believe the decision was politically motivated.On Monday, a bevy of celebrities, as well as fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and John Oliver, appeared on the "Late Show" to support their soon-to-be fallen colleague.Among the others on hand was Cooper, who is also a "60 Minutes" correspondent for CBS News.TRUMP DECLARES THERE'S 'STRONG WORD' THAT KIMMEL AND FALLON ARE NEXT ON THE LATE-NIGHT CHOPPING BLOCKThe celebrity-packed segment featured "Weird Al" Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda performing Coldplays "Viva la Vida" to "cheer people up" amid the news Colbert would soon be canceled. CBS cameras showed various audience members during the performance, and the famous spectators were embedded in the crowd.Cooper was shown looking at his phone as Bravo host Andy Cohen, who was seated beside him, went bananas when he noticed they were on air. Cohen then leaned over and kissed Cooper, resulting in a look of disbelief from the CNN anchor.The segment ended with a cartoon image of President Donald Trump embracing the Paramount logo, a spoof of the viral "kiss cam" incident that occurred last week when former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught canoodling with another executive from the company at a Coldplay concert, both of whom are married to other people.Much like the Astronomer honcho, the cartoon Trump ducked in a panic when he realized he was on-screen.COLBERT TELLS TRUMP TO 'GO F--- YOURSELF AFTER PRESIDENT TAUNTS HIM OVER SHOW CANCELLATIONColbert concluded the segment by taking more shots at Paramount, mocking CBS for chalking the looming cancellation of his show to a financial decision. Though "The Late Show" reportedly loses CBS $40 million a year.While it was a lighthearted segment, Coopers involvement is noteworthy as it poked fun at both the corporate parent of CBS News, which controls "60 Minutes," and Trump, who Cooper is tasked with covering for CNN.According to IMDB, Cooper has appeared on Colbert's show 20 other times as a guest.CBS News and CNN did not immediately respond to requests for comment.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThere had been speculation about the future of the Paramount-owned late-night programs, which also include "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central, as its planned corporate merger with Skydance Media is expected to take place later this year pending approval from Trumps FCC.Paramount Global and CBS agreed earlier this month to settle Trumps $20 billion election interference lawsuit against the network for at least $16 million.
