Several hundred people are already lined up for Trumpâs re-election announcement rally in Orlando, which starts tomorrow at 8pm. One man I spoke with arrived at 2am, 42 hours early. Many have tents and plan to stay in line all night (and stuck out a thunderstorm earlier today) pic.twitter.com/icLQWJUVX1
Ocasio-Cortez falsely claims Trump is operating concentration camps, compares the situation to the Holocaust: âThe U.S. is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are. ⌠âNever Againâ means something … we need to do something about itâ pic.twitter.com/F2MmZ8y2dT
Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action Agenda at the Simon Wiesenthal Center Rabbi Abraham Cooper called Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) comparing immigration detention centers on the border to concentration camps an âinsult to victims of the Shoah.â
In a June 17 Instagram live stream, Ocasio-Cortez said that âthe United States is running concentration camps on our southern borderâ and that she wanted to âtalk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity to say that âNever Againâ means something.â
Ocasio-Cortez defended her remarks in tweets on Tuesday stating that âconcentration camps are not the same as death camps.â
She ends up disproving her own claim since people in detention centers are awaiting hearings/trial so don’t fit her own claims about concentration camps.
What do you do when youâve buried yourself up to your neck in a grave you dug? Well, when youâre Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you grab another shovel and go to town.
What conscience would that be? The one that tells her itâs not only acceptable but morally right to invoke the Holocaust to score the cheapest of political points and then try to gaslight everyone who called you out on it?
A new poll shows President Trump is surging in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, slicing into the lead of former Vice President Joe Biden, who is currently leading the Democratic field by a large margin. Additionally, the poll shows the two men in a statistical dead heat in Michigan
The Firehouse-Optimus poll, conducted from June 11-13, shows Trump with a tremendous surge in Pennsylvania; Biden had an eight-point lead in March that has narrowed to a scant one-point lead. The Trump âbaseâ in Pennsylvania has a huge lead over the Democratic âbase.â Trumpâs stands at 42%, dwarfing the Democratsâ, which is at 24%. The poll adds, âThis is a recurring trend across states- those who say they will vote for Trump are very consistent across ballot tests, while many Democratic-leaning voters fluctuate between supporting the Democrat, a generic third-party candidate, or not being sure.â
Since March, Bidenâs lead over Trump in Wisconsin has shrunk from 12 percentage points to six. The Trump âbaseâ in Wisconsin, according to the poll, rests at 37%; the Democratic âbaseâ stands at 32%. Trumpâs approval rating has risen from 41% to 44% since March.
The vice president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for comparing border facilities to concentration camps.
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made the comparison to her Instagram followers during a live stream Monday.
“The fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the land of the free is extraordinarily disturbing,” she declared.
Art Del Cueto expressed his frustration with her statements during a Tuesday morning appearance on “America’s Newsroom.”
Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in. Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people…….
President Donald Trump said Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will begin mass deportations of illegal immigrants starting next week.
The president indicated that ICE intends on attempting to remove the millions of illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. According to a Pew Research Center study released last week, 10.5 million âunauthorizedâ immigrants lived in the U.S. in 2017.
âNext week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States,â Trump tweeted late Monday night. âThey will be removed as fast as they come in.â
Princeton Professor of American American studies Eddie Glaude made a stunning claim about President Trump during an interview with MSNBC.
Glaude, responding to the president’s announced upcoming ICE raids on illegal immigrants, accused Trump of adopting a barbaric policy that seeks to terrorize families with children.
The professor called Trump’s announcement an act of terror and said America’s sympathies should lie with illegal immigrant families, and not with the president.
He also questioned Trump’s ability to actually carry out his proposed plan.
“What we need to do is to understand what is really motivating this … is cruelty. It’s cruelty” he told MSNBC.
“What Donald Trump did yesterday, what he announced via Twitter — and this might sound hyperbolic to some folk — it was a terroristic act.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has taken aim at “shrieking Republicans” who criticized her for comparing border facilities at the U.S.-Mexico border to concentration camps.
The freshman New Yorker made the shocking claim during an Instagram broadcast on Monday night and then doubled down Tuesday morning on Twitter.
“This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying,” she tweeted.
“This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis.”
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden says that the way he would deal with Senate Republicans who oppose his agenda is with a âbrass knuckle fight,â later adds: âLetâs start a real physical revolution if youâre talking about itâ pic.twitter.com/GQPmDGxJpo
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to suggest using violence against Republicans on Monday in response to a question about how he as president would deal with opposition to his agenda in the Senate from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Biden, currently the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, made the remarks at the Moral Action Congress of the Poor People’s Campaign in Washington, D.C.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid asked Biden: “How would you get past either a majority Republican Senate in which Mitch McConnell was determined to kill all of these ideas or even a Mitch McConnell in the minority who repeated the consistent filibustering when you were vice president and anything that came from the Obama-Biden administration Mitch McConnell considered dead on arrival?”
Can someone PLEASE get @AOC a history book, so she can learn what the concentration camps were like? Comparing our borderâs centers to camps where millions were GASSED TO DEATH is reckless and utterly false pic.twitter.com/g3I9BkLdWq
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed âfascistâ Donald Trumpâs immigration policy, saying his administration is operating âconcentration camps on our southern border.â
The Democratic Representative for New Yorkâs 14th congressional district streamed a live Q&A with her Instagram followers on Monday, in which she doubled down on her criticism of the governmentâs crackdown on asylum seekers and migrants.
âThat is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps,â Ocasio-Cortez said during the live-stream.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, is placing blame on President Trump for last Thursday’s attacks on two oil tankers, which the U.S. has linked to Iran.
“None of this would be happening if Trump didn’t back out of the Iran nuclear deal,” Omar tweeted. “Americaâs response should be to return to the table and reinstate the Iran nuclear deal. Increasing tensions and threats of war serve nobody’s interests.”
President Trump declared Iran was responsible for the attacks in the Gulf of Oman, pointing to video released by the U.S. Navy showing an Iranian vessel removing an unexploded mine.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unleashed her lawyer on a former campaign aide who wrote a book about her victory over former Congressman Joseph Crowley.
Ocasio-Cortezâs legal counsel sent a cease and desist letter to Latino activist Ramon Ramirez for his self-published memoir titled âAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez: The Democratsâ Surprise.â
âIâm surprised,â Ramirez told The Post about receiving the legal threat. âI didnât say anything against her. I never said anything against her agenda.â
The author added that he only sold âabout 160 books.â
The cease and desist letter claims that âThe Democratsâ Surpriseâ and a second book Ramirez has written, âseek to profit off the Congresswomanâs name and likeness, without her involvement or permission.â
Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, admitted Sunday that intelligence proves Iranian responsibility for the recent tanker attacks.
Schiff said the evidence is “very strong and compelling” that Iran is behind the attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, putting him in line with the administration on the facts of the case.
“There’s no question that Iran is behind the attacks. I think the evidence is very strong and compelling,” he said. “This was a class-A screw-up by Iran to insert a mine on the ship. It didn’t detonate. They had to go back and retrieve it. I can imagine there are some Iranian heads rolling for that botched operation.”
However, he said this “solid evidence” was not enough to get buy-in on a united response by the U.S. and its allies. He said America is “isolated” on account of the administrationâs policies, and even blamed those policies for Iranâs assaults on commercial transports.
President Donald Trump is officially withholding hundreds of millions in U.S. aid to three Central American countries as punishment for being much of the source of the current illegal immigration crisis.
The White House informed Congress Monday that it will permanently divert $370 million in aid to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, according to Reuters. That money was previously approved by Congress for fiscal year 2018, but had not yet been used.
Trump is not stopping there. The administration is also suspending $180 million that was approved in fiscal year 2017 that had not yet been spent.
The presidentâs decision to withhold aid to Central Americaâs Northern Triangle countries come as the immigration crisis continues to escalate.
