In a recent interview on ABC News' "This Week," Rep. Mike Turner, a leading House Republican, expressed his disagreement with former President Donald Trump's controversial remarks about migrants. However, he maintained that only Trump possesses the ability to address the ongoing crisis at the southern border.

Turner attributed the high rate of migration into the United States to President Joe Biden's administration, stating that the situation constitutes a crisis created by the current government. He emphasized the validity of warnings from the FBI regarding the entry of "dangerous" individuals across the border.

While Turner wanted to focus on Biden's immigration policies, he was pressed by "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz to comment on Trump's disparaging remarks. Turner acknowledged previous disagreements with Trump's comments, stating that the American people share those sentiments. Nevertheless, he argued that Trump remains the only candidate capable of resolving the border crisis.

Although not present at a recent event in Ohio where Trump attacked some immigrants and referred to Jan. 6 convicts as "hostages," Turner disapproved of such characterizations. He expressed his belief in the judicial system but referenced some overturned court actions related to the Capitol riot.

Regarding Trump's campaign rhetoric, Turner acknowledged that it contains statements that may not align with the views of many Americans, while others may agree. As chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Turner also defended the legislation passed last week that would require TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the popular social media platform or face a ban in the U.S.

Highlighting the battle between authoritarianism and democracy, Turner argued that Beijing seeks a "greater surveillance society" and warned of potential manipulative use of American data obtained through TikTok. Although TikTok denies data breach concerns, Turner emphasized national security and the potential of the platform being used as a "propaganda tool" to manipulate society.

Turner urged the U.S. to proceed with the legislation, pointing out that China has blocked X, Facebook, and YouTube. Citing fears over individual privacy and data issues, Turner's greatest concern is ensuring that TikTok does not become a means to control and manipulate society.

The interview shed light on Turner's criticism of Biden's handling of the border crisis and his defense of Trump's immigration comments, while also highlighting his concerns about TikTok and the need for legislation to address national security implications.
