Democrats are fighting Trump’s travel ban tooth and nail.
Chuck Schumer is leading that resistance.
But his latest comment about Trump’s policies in the wake of the London terror attacks were his most outrageous yet.
Britain was rocked by two terror attacks in the span of just two weeks.
First, a jihadist detonated a suicide bomb at a pop concert and killed 22 innocents.
Then three Islamic terrorists carried out an attack on London Bridge where they killed seven and wounded 48 by driving a van into a crowd and stabbing innocent bystanders.
Trump reacted strongly to these attacks and restated the need for the Supreme Court to uphold his travel ban executive order.
We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!

That's right, we need a TRAVEL BAN for certain DANGEROUS countries, not some politically correct term that won't help us protect our people!

Chuck Schumer quickly reacted on twitter.
Two of the London attackers and the Manchester attacker were British. The Paris shooter was French. 1/2 https://t.co/EEd1J90eOs

Does @realDonaldTrump really want to BAN all British citizens? French citizens? When he writes ‘countries’ does he really mean religion? 2/2

Schumer’s attack on Trump’s travel ban missed the mark by omitting key facts.
The Manchester bomber’s family had strong connections to Libya, which was one of the six nations included in Trump’s travel ban.
His family members were refugees from Libya and he had traveled to Libya in 2013 and returned to Britain in 2014.
And one of the bombers in the Paris attacks was a migrant who came to France via Greece after his boat landed there from Turkey.
He was carrying a fake Syrian passport when his body was found outside the Stade de France where he detonated his suicide bomb as part of the Paris terror attacks that killed 120 innocents.
Trump’s executive order – which stops the refugee program until extreme vetting measures are in place – would have stopped both the Manchester bomber’s family and the Paris bomber from entering America.
Who do you agree with – Trump or Schumer?
