The bodies aren't even cold yet and Trump is politicizing this. What a disgraceful leader he is.
Trump blames Schumer, immigration policy for Manhattan attack - NY Daily News
Uzbekistan, like Pakistan, is one of our partners in the war against terrorism. There is no rationaltiy to Trump's statement. It's just a disgusting comment that appeals to those who hate Muslim immigrants.
President Trump is using the tragic terror attack in Manhattan as fodder for his immigration reform — blaming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for allowing the assault that killed eight people to happen.
The President tweeted Wednesday that attacker Sayfullo Saipov entered the U.S. in 2010 through the State Department’s Diversity Visa Lottery system.
“The terrorist came into our country through what is called the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program," a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based,” Trump tweeted shortly after 7 a.m.
Trump seemed to confirm reports that the ISIS-inspired attacker came to the U.S. from Uzbekistan through the 22-year-old program.
Schumer later fired back about the nature of Trump’s social media post.
“I guess it's not too soon to politicize a tragedy,” the Democrat tweeted at about 8:30 a.m. without making a direct reference to the tweet.
