Typical Republican Hypocrisy On Asylum Seekers

"Political asylum is a weird idea: One country gets to tell another country: We think your criminal is actually a hero and he can come live here, so buzz off.

After all, the U.S. would never think of shielding someone accused of illegally leaking another country's classified information, right?" ¶ Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
