WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday blamed one Democrat for an immigration program that was backed by both parties and signed by a Republican president in 1990. The “Chuck Schumer beauty,” as Trump called the program, was also George H.W. Bush’s beauty.

A look at Trump’s statements Wednesday as he cast political blame on Sen. Chuck Schumer specifically and Democrats generally in the aftermath of the deadly truck attack in New York City, allegedly by a citizen of Uzbekistan.

TRUMP tweets:

— “The terrorist came into our country through what is called the ‘Diversity Visa Lottery Program,’ a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based.”

So, in other words, it’s true but AP doesn’t want it to be, so it’s a lie.

It wasn’t that it was backed by both parties. Schumer was the SPONSOR of the bill. It was his creation.

There are plenty of Cheap Labor Express Republicans that support immigration lunacy.
In 2013, the Gang of Eight got votes from Corker, Hatch, Heller, Flake, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio.
Tillis and Lankford are supporting DACA amnesty this year.
We have to remove them from office.

Such BS propaganda... the AP fails to mention that upChuck was a sponsor, and states that Schumer wanted to scrap the program in 2013, but could not due to Republican opposition (while failing to mention what in the proposal the Republicans were opposed to... hint: rhymes with shamnesty).

According to AP: It’s a lie that people don’t like Her Thighness; she is actually universally loved and the Republicans messed with the voting machines, every one of them.

Love the fact that Trump beat the crap out of Schumer on this right away and the media and Schumer among others couldn’t hit back and say, “How dare you attack him when his city was just hit by a terrorist attack!” These NYC liberal politicians are NEVER taken to task on the consequences of their own policies.
