DNC provokes outrage on Twitter by slamming Trump's 'empty promises on border wall'

The Democratic National Committee came under fire from many online Tuesday after sending out a release on its press list that called out President Donald Trump's "empty promises on border wall."

"Trump has failed to deliver on his signature promise to build a border wall and have Mexico pay for it," the DNC release read. "Trump even admitted in a private conversation with Mexico that his border wall promise was 'the least important thing.'"

The email, which contained a number of links to stories that backed up the DNC's assessment, was met with near-instant ridicule from those on the left.

"If your strategy requires you to twist yourself into this big of a pretzel, it might be time for a better strategy," tweeted Mike Casca, communications director for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Xochitl Hinojosa, communications director for the DNC, tweeted that the organization has on many occassions made clear that it does not support Trump's building of a border wall, calling it "dangerous" and "divisive." She tweeted that the email's purpose was to provide reporters with "research on Trump's lies" and noted that DNC chair Tom Perez earlier this month said a massive border wall along the southern border of the US is "ludicrous" and a waste of tax dollars.....

Soros will make up the difference in funding lost because of their endless mindless hatred of all for which America stands.

Obama, by the way, how is that signature promise of “closing of Guantanamo Bay” going?

Notice the ridicule PDT is getting for his statement about how things ‘change’ once you get behind the desk but when BO made about the same statement in re Gitmo it was regarded as him having ‘good sense’. (Of course WE ridiculed him(rightfully so)).

Also back when mclame ran against BO it was mentioned that the campaign trail was taking its toll on him so the LameStreamMedia attributed it to JM age etc.

When BO ‘botched a speech’ (maybe his 57 states??) they claimed he worked so hard that he was bound to get confused now and then....

If it werent for double standards, the media/Libs would have no standards at all.

Hopefully the Democrats in Congress will push for swift Construction of the Border Wall to take advantage of President Trump’s failure to do so.

That will show him.

Congress fudged that border wall. And Ann Coulter, Beck and libertarians expecting Trump to make miracles do not even have a clue about what we are up against

And what, pray tell, would happen to the value of Twitter if DJT was banned? “Progressive” echo chambers aren’t profitable. Just ask the folks at err-America.
