Relatives and friends of 9/11 victims called Thursday for an end to President Trump’s travel ban — saying it spreads the same hate that killed their loved ones. The group of 10 unfurled a banner in Battery Park that called for “unity” with the Muslim community.

“We’re saying after 15 years, stop using our loved ones to support unjust hatred,” said Terry McGovern, whose mother Ann was on the 92nd floor of the South Tower when it collapsed.

We all know what their politics was before 9/11/01.

There are just not words to comment on such blatant stupid ideological blindness.

Perhaps 9/11 would NOT have happened if a travel ban and extreme vetting were in place.

Do these relatives and friends of 9/11 victims understand the connection?

Same old line. Opposing terrorism causes terrorism. Defending yourself against terrorism causes terrorism. Recognizing murder as wrong just makes murderers angry. There is always something that the victim did wrong to make the villains the way they were.

And what about the families of the other 2,985 victims? Some enterprising journalist should go out and get their take on these 15, and on vetting muzz slimes, but they won’t.

No Terry - we're NOT using your 'loved ones' to support anything. We are trying to protect our loved ones who are still alive today. You sold your right to complain when you took the government settlement. I, and millions of others are working with Trump to keep from having that occur again.

9/11 was an attack on America and NOT on your reletives. YOU have no special proprietary ownership of the attack. YOU don’t get to have what is only a stupid shortsighted opinion raised as holy writ.

This bunch is riddled with Democratic operatives. The most visible and obnoxious of these hacks are four publicity hounds called the “Jersey Girls.” Ann Coulter stirred up a controversy when she called them out on their hypocrisy:

“They first came together to complain that the $1.6 million average settlement to be paid to 9/11 victims’ families by the government was not large enough... These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities... These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them. ... I've never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much ... the Democrat ratpack gals endorsed John Kerry for president ... cutting campaign commercials... how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy.”

When Coulter was criticized by most of the news media she replied:

“I feel sorry for all the widows of 9/11...[but] I do not believe that sanctifies their political message....They have attacked Bush, they have attacked Condoleezza Rice, they're cutting campaign commercials for Kerry. But we can't respond because their husbands died . . . I think it's one of the ugliest things the left has done...this idea that you need some sort of personal authenticity in order to make a political point...”

Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

When Coulter was criticized by most of the news media she replied:

“I feel sorry for all the widows of 9/11...[but] I do not believe that sanctifies their political message....They have attacked Bush, they have attacked Condoleezza Rice, they’re cutting campaign commercials for Kerry. But we can’t respond because their husbands died . . . I think it’s one of the ugliest things the left has done...this idea that you need some sort of personal authenticity in order to make a political point..”

Compare that to what happened over MLK day and the Honorable Congressman from Georgia.

We can’t respond because he was the victim of the Civil Rights movement so therefore everything he touches does or says is off limits. Just like this gaggle of women, because their husbands died, mind you a lot of other people died too, we can’t touch what they do or say for they are under the auspices (chose this word purposefully) of their husband’s deaths on 9/11.

Ten? I didn't hear that detail in the news stories.

Have you noticed that Rep. John Lewis (D-Perpetual Victimhood) hasn't been seen or heard from since that whole charade?

It seems as if anyone who goes out of his way to attack Trump gets a well-deserved proverbial beatdown, then slinks away quietly and doesn't utter a peep for weeks or months.

When a liberal head is severed by ISIS the severed head in its last few seconds will still call for tolerance and understanding.
