I’ll have to put my thinking hat on, but the refugee number of 250,000 was put out there a while back in connection to how many refugees Obama might bring in. Trump didn’t pull that number out of a Make America Great Again hat. I saw that number too; I just can’t remember where. It will come to me in the middle of the night, or when ensconced on the throne where I do much of my best thinking, lol.

Thanks. Not questioning his numbers, just pointing out that hacks like Politico haven’t seemed as concerned about sourcing Obie’s claims as they are Republican’s.

Here’s a (probably liberal) site discussing Hannity putting out the number:

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/oct/26/sean-hannity/250000-syrian-refugees-us-fact-check-trump-hannity/

{Hannity said his figure was based on a Sept. 20 Associated Press report. The AP report said that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the United States would accept up to 85,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2016 and up to 100,000 in Fiscal Year 2017. In Fiscal Year 2015, the United States accepted nearly 70,000 refugees.

Add those three numbers together and you get 255,000 refugees, Hannity said.

That math is right, but none of it makes Hannity’s claim accurate.}
