Scores of irate liberals organized in part by CAIR (considered a terrorist organization in the UAE), descended upon airports around the country on Saturday to protest Donald Trump’s 120 day ban on refugees from 6 “nations of concern” and a permanent ban on Syrians until further notice. Of note, the countries on the list were originally identified under Obama by the Department of Homeland Security in the “Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015.”
As a result of the Executive Order, several travelers from the newly restricted nations found themselves in limbo at airports across the United States, as many were kept off flights or stranded. In response, Democrat congressional representatives Nydia Velazquez and Jerry Nadler showed up to JFK airport with the press to earn a few votes for the next election.

The Puerto Rican born Velazquez (who’s been in US Politics over 35 years and hasn’t bothered to master English), took to the cameras to decry the Executive Order for not offering guidelines. Oh, and it’s unjust.

One of the stranded travelers was Iraqi interpreter Hameed Khalid Darweesh, released from detention after 18 hours. Reps. Velazquez and Nadler were quick to cozy up to Darweesh, hoping to milk the “human element” of this tragic story of injustice.

About an hour later, Darweesh was wheeled in front of network cameras where he was asked what he thought of Donald Trump:

THAT FACE
Unsurprisingly, ABC News cut that part out…

Unfortunately for Rep. Velazquez, Hameed Khalid Darweesh didn’t fit the bleeding heart narrative. Fortunately for the rest of the stranded travelers, a NY Federal judge granted a temporary reprieve after an ACLU request for a temporary stay allowing detained travelers to stay in the United States.

OMG, his twitter handle is (((JERRY NADLER)))? He memed himself.
Hilarious these clowns. But on a serious matter the entire point of this bullshit is what I’m not sure of. if they want communist then they are in the wrong place. They are completely fucked up and stupid.
You got some serious shills on your site here lately, Mr. Fly.
Interesting how they aren’t commenting on this article.
Links to fox news and breitbart, lol. Fly, you are sad. SAD.
But at least you get your news the same place Mr. Trump does.
Sia, attacking the messengers instead of taking the time to address the message is lazy. If you have an issue with what Breitbart / Fox is saying, refute it – otherwise you’re just noise.
