Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) suggested Tuesday night in the Republican undercard debate that his rival Donald Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the U.S. “only helps ISIL.”
Last week Trump had proposed, to much criticism, a “complete and total shutdown” on Muslims entering the country. Graham said during the CNN debate that Trump’s ban was “the worst possible thing you can do in this war.”
“You may think this makes us safe, but it doesn’t,” Graham said. “Donald Trump has done the one single thing you cannot do — declare war on Islam itself. ISIL would be dancing in the streets, they just don’t believe in dancing.”
Graham added that Trump did not represent other Republicans.
“Declaring war on the religion only helps ISIL,” he concluded.
Whatever. Nobody gives a shit what Graham is saying at this point…well, from the get-go really.
What’s more important is that the GOP/Teatrolls now have the entire MSM falsely equating Trump’s heavy-handed, flailing-about, indiscriminate ban on all Muslims from anywhere with Jimmy Carter’s targeted and limited revocation of visas (and ban on issuing new ones) to Iranian nationals in the face of the Iranian government refusing to take the hostages from the hostage-takers, even though the hostage-takers said they would give the hostages to the Iranian government.
It’s more false equivalency nonsense soup for dinner tonight…and what a thin thin broth it has.
there is loads of false equivalency out there, false equivalency is one technique to make the Republican platform seem like something else besides constant lies
