"When the conversation turned to Trump’s sudden shift in his immigration proposals, Pierson tried to spin that there has been no shift, they’re just changing the language.

“He hasn’t changed his position. He has changed the word he is saying,” Pierson explained.

Amanda Carpenter, formerly of the Cruz campaign, outright laughed at Pierson’s explanation.

“What he has said from the beginning, he — no,” Pierson struggled. “He does not want to allow people to stay in this country illegally. He does want to build the wall but that’s exactly what he said from the beginning.”...

“There is not a different message,” Pierson promised. “He is using different words to give the message because everyone on the news is saying that he is a bigot and that he is a racist because of the words he uses. Now he is simply saying yes, we’re going to follow the law, enforce the law, which ICE is immigration and customs, they do remove people from the country here illegally. He wants to start with the criminals.”
