A Democratic staffer working on campaigns for two vulnerable Ohio candidates was caught on video expressing support for open borders and criticizing those advocating for border security. The staffer, identified as part of the Ohio Coordinated Campaign to re-elect Sherrod Brown and Congresswoman Emilia Sykes, was recorded saying, 'Open the border, I don’t care who comes in here,' and labeling border security advocates as 'racist.'
The staffer's comments highlighted the perceived challenges of discussing immigration in Ohio, suggesting it could be a losing issue for Democrats due to what was described as 'pure racism' among some voters.
