A CNN pundit snapped at a right-wing panelist during a debate on immigration that turned into a shouting match.During an appearance on CNN on Thursday night, Keith Boykin, a former Clinton White House aide, lost his cool while poking holes in an argument by Caroline Sunshine, a former Trump White House staffer.Sunshine argued in favor of a Supreme Court decision that threatens temporary protected status for Haitians, and asked the panel around her, "Does anybody at this table, have you heard the name Aiden Clark?" referring to an 11-year-old boy who died in an Ohio bus crash in 2023. Clark's death has become a right-wing talking point because a Haitian immigrant collided with the bus."Here we go again," Boykin said after Sunshine asked her question. "I love how they cherry-pick isolated cases and forget the fact that people who are immigrants actually commit fewer crimes than people who are residents in this country."The argument didn't stop there, however. Sunshine brought Clark up again when pundit Amanda Litman said that immigrants are "the people who make America great, who make this country what it is.""Was the Haitian migrant who killed 11-year-old Aiden Clark making America better?" Sunshine asked.That's when Boykin snapped and began shouting at Sunshine, asking her, "You're going to kick out 350,000 people because of one case? One case?"He was referring to Haitians in the U.S. who have TPS and could be deported from the country because of the Supreme Court decision.Meanwhile, Sunshine kept yelling back, "They killed a child! They killed a child!""What about all the white people in this country who commit crimes in this country? Are you going to kick them out, too?" Boykin yelled over her. "That as a justification for a racist foreign policy is disgusting. It's abhorrent! Disgusting!"
