Steve Schmidt on Travel Ban: Trump is Responsible For the ‘Fulfillment of Osama bin Laden’s Vision’
Mediaite ^ | June 25, 2018 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 06/26/2018 3:20:57 PM PDT by EdnaMode

MSNBC’s Steve Schmidt––who recently left the Republican party––decried the Supreme Court decision upholding President Trump‘s travel ban.

Nicolle Wallace talked with her panel about the SCOTUS decision, looking back at how we got from the originally-proposed Muslim ban to here.

She said, “I remember people in the intelligence community saying to me, ‘Who do you think we rely on the most in the countries that could represent the greatest geopolitical threats from us?'”

Former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi said that today “we became a little bit less of that shining city on a hill” into a country that’s now “closed to people not like us.”

“You cannot separate the policy that’s been carried out at the border,” Wallace added, “from the President’s celebration from what Steve Bannon described… as ‘travel ban vindication.'”

Schmidt said that “today was a fantastic fulfillment of Osama bin Laden‘s vision by Donald J. Trump.”

He elaborated:

“What Osama bin Laden hoped to provoke was a war of civilization. A war between the West and one billion Muslims. And so what Donald Trump and this Muslim ban signal to the world is that Muslims are not welcome here, that this is––whether the conservative justices say in fact this is about executive power––the President’s clear intent was to impose a religious test, and that is as fundamentally un-American as anything that he’s done over the course of this presidency.”

He said moderate Islam is a key force in helping defeat “extremist Islamic radicalism” and today was a step in the wrong direction on that.

Watch above, via MSNBC.

Oh. I see. Trump how now moved from being the same as Hitler.

To being the same as Osama bin Laden.

How utterly droll. Do these liberal idiots think they’re clever?

Don’t even argue with the idiots anymore. Just tell them they reserve the right to be wrong and they are.

The United States Constitution and the Koran are mutually exclusive.

Muslims don’t believe in our system of government. Why would we welcome them to move here?

........” Do these liberal idiots think they’re clever?”

One of the things about liberals I learned early on as a child was just how clever they believe themselves to be. In the eyes of the liberal cleverness is theirs alone. Nobody can discern just how clever they are.

The fact being of course the liberal is so damned transparent even a child can see through their so-called cleverness.

And exactly what was lord McCain's purpose in being the commander-in-chief of ISIL? How many 'Christians' were slaughtered in their blood letting?

For those who do not see the threat.. they are blind and not willing to see anything but what they want to see.

The majority of the muslims who come here, are not here to assimilate... too many of them want to set up their own “area”.. their own government and their own “religion”.

Everything they bring with them has to be unlearned ... they must adopt our country... not change it. Their ways.. their beliefs... are not compatible with ours. .. and never will be.

Schmidt’s buddy, the Hanoi Rose knows as MCCain, was once a great friend of Bin Ladens and the founder of Isis.

Schmidt spent 6 months licking the bare asshole of Obozzo in 2008.

How does asshole taste Schmidt ? You pathetic beta male
