'You're a white supremacist, Laura': Joaquin Castro and Laura Ingraham feud over migrant detention
WASHINGTON – Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, and Fox News host Laura Ingraham sparred on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon over a video Castro had posted of conditions inside a migrant detention center.
Earlier Wednesday, Castro, the twin brother of presidential candidate Julián Castro and the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, had posted a surreptitiously recorded video of showers inside the Border Patrol station at Clint, Texas, showing filthy conditions on the floors of the showers. Border Patrol officials had confiscated the phones of a visiting congressional delegation, but Castro captured pictures and videos anyway.
Ingraham responded to Castro, saying that the showers were "similar to Army facilities in Iraq" and arguing that Castro "needs to spend more time overseas w/ our troops bef he calls this inhumane."

You’re a white supremacist, Laura.
And, no, I don’t think refugees should be kept in war-zone conditions in the most prosperous nation on earth. https://t.co/1MJiYa3QJV— Joaquin Castro (@JoaquinCastrotx) July 3, 2019
