Bitter former Impeachment Manager Rep Jerry Nadler is part of the Dems that are now it seems out for blood. In what could easily be called retaliation, the House Dems are now going after Trump’s travel ban policy that was put in place to keep Americans safe. The House Dems claim that this a Muslim ban, not a travel ban. But I am sure they are going to be scrutinizing anything and everything that Trump had a hand in now that they failed to impeach him.
“Democrats took the first step to repeal President Trump’s expanding travel bans Wednesday at a House Judiciary Committee session that devolved into a debate on whether the restrictions amount to a Muslim ban and whether it’s OK to call Trump “occasionally honest.”
In a sometimes-testy committee markup, Democrats passed the “No Ban Act” to repeal Trump’s bans that apply to foreign nationals from seven countries – with an additional six countries on deck later this month.
While the measure is unlikely to advance in the GOP-controlled Senate, Democrats panned the restrictions as a cruel Muslim ban that has torn thousands of families apart needlessly, while Republicans blasted the repeal as Democrats’ latest attempt to undercut Trump.
“This has nothing to do with religion. This has to do with securing our country,” said Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., taking on Democrats for calling it a Muslim ban. “…If it really was, as you call it, a Muslim ban, why wouldn’t Indonesia be on this ban? I mean they have a lot of Muslims. This is just inaccurate. You are just spreading this falsity.”
But Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said you have to look no further than Trump’s intentions when, during his 2016 campaign, he called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”
“How do we know [it’s a Muslim ban]? We know because the president, who is occasionally honest, told us so!” Nadler said.
“Republicans argued Trump is trying to keep Americans safe and rejected the label of a Muslim ban.
“There are 50 predominantly Muslim countries around the world and 45 are not subject to restrictions,” Buck said. “Afghanistan is not. Turkey is not. Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Egypt are not.”
It feels like arguing with the Dems is a fruitless endeavor. Just look at the impeachment they passed through, they had a legal expert warn them that they did not have the evidence needed, but they refused to listen to reason. So now they are extra bitter that their impeachment attempt fell flat on its face and they only have themselves to blame. But of course, they see it as a cover-up because there is no way that they could be wrong… This is another example where reason will likely not win out. The GOP has pointed out that only 10% of all predominantly Muslim countries have restrictions, and only in an effort to keep Americans safe. But Dems are going to blow it out of proportion and call Trump a racist. This it seems is just how things are now.
are “pocket vetoes” still a thing? if i was a President, and the enemy (make no mistake, that is what democrats have become) did this kind of petty horse apples i would thank them for their time and effort and put it in a drawer. let it sit there till it dies. in a year like this one that would cheese them off
