Rep. Cedric Richmond spoke with Roland Martin during Wednesday’s edition of the Tom Joyner Morning Show about the growing backlash against the Trump Administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy.

Calling the practice of separating of families at the border “torture,” Rep. Richmond chastized President Trump for creating this problem.

“This is just sick,” said  Richmond before questioning "when will those who support President Trump join with others to say 'we’re not going to accept this — change the policy right now.'”

Richmond added, “We are betraying our principles, we’re betraying our morals by not joining together to fight this president.”
