Mike Lee catches NBC News omitting words from Constitution — then he reveals why NBC anchor didn't want you to hear them
'... and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.'
Sen. Mike Lee (R) called out NBC News' "Meet the Press" and anchor Kristen Welker on Sunday for omitting six important words from the 14th Amendment.
Speaking with President-elect Donald Trump about his plan to end birthright citizenship — which grants United States citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil — Welker tried to suggest the plan is unconstitutional by citing the first sentence of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
'[Meet the Press] seems to try to render a debatable matter beyond debate by selectively omitting key words from the Constitution.'
After Trump confirmed that ending birthright citizenship is "absolutely" his plan, Welker said, "The 14th Amendment, though, says that, quote, 'All persons born in the United States are citizens.'"

This is nonsense. This would apply to a child born to a diplomat from a foreign country
