OK, so if I understand this, we need to ban Muslims from several Middle Eastern countries to protect us from Muslim terrorists from Britain? Pardon me if I am confused.

1. He didn't write the text for that tweet

it's obvious someone else did. His remarks are rarely cohesive and this includes the big word "vigilant".

2. ignoring the fact that most of these incidents are from citizens from the area where this occurred,

it is a perfect excuse to spew their racist agenda.

You may also notice how some republican politicians seem to be reflecting on Maher's comments how offensive the use of the "n" word is, when for decades they have been pushing their racist, bigoted agenda.

When President Obama was President, it was all about him not being an American, and being a Muslim, with the media only too willing to give a voice to those views.

Where was the condemnation when trump was spewing his racist, sexist, xenophobic agenda? While there was some criticism from the press, in general they just let it slide.

Is it any surprise that this would continue, using any excuse, whether valid or not.

I suspect there will be very little pushback from the press on the disconnect between the incidents in the UK, and trump's travel ban justification

3. The Manchester attacker was born in the UK. Yeah, a travel ban would've really helped.

Somebody please tell Donny 2 Scoops to shut the fuck up, sit down & eat a beautiful piece of chocolate cake.

He is an unending source of embarrassment with his inane tweets with their CAPITAL LETTERS & EXCLAMATION POINTS!
