You expect the Democrats and media to be against anything Trump does. I suppose it’s also not surprising when RINOs who are more offended if some Muslim is subjected to extreme vetting than they are about homeless veterans. So here is a list of the Republican who are whining about exactly what Obama did, just for less time than Obama did. This is the typical Republican surrender caucus from Conservative Review.
| Meet the Republican who bashed Trump’s travel ban |

Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker of Tennessee:
Normally, you would think Republicans in Tennesee would be far extreme vetting of people from the seven countries on Obama’s travel ban list that Trump used. But this isn’t the case with either RINO Lamar Alexander or Bob Corker.
In a statement released to a local TV station, Sen. Alexander said “this vetting proposal itself needed more vetting. More scrutiny of those traveling from war-torn countries to the United States is wise. But this broad and confusing order seems to ban legal, permanent residents with ‘green cards’ […] And while not explicitly a religious test, it comes close to one which is inconsistent with our American character.”
Corker calls the executive order “poorly implemented.” Come on Tennesee, you are better than these two douche bags.
The Arizona twin clowns John McCain and flakey Jeff Flake
In a statement posted to Medium, Senator Flake said, “President Trump and his administration are right to be concerned about national security, but it’s unacceptable when even legal permanent residents are being detained or turned away at airports and ports of entry.”
Sen. McCain told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that the effect of President Trump’s executive order “will probably in some areas give ISIS some more propaganda.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. – John McCain’s butt buddy and partner in war crimes:
Senator Graham released a joint statement with Arizona Senator John McCain, stating: “It is clear from the confusion at our airports across the nation that President Trump’s executive order was not properly vetted … This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country. That is why we fear this executive order may do more to help terrorist recruitment than improve our security.”
Rep. Justin Amash (Arab) R-Mich. (A, 96%)
“It’s not lawful to ban immigrants on the basis of nationality,” Amash wrote. “If the president wants to change immigration law, he must work with Congress.”
Arab Amash likes to claim he’s libertarian, but he’s nothing more than a Jew hater.
Other RINOs:
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine
“The worldwide refugee ban set forth in the executive order is overly broad and implementing it will be immediately problematic,” said Sen. Susan Collins.
“As I stated last summer, religious tests serve no useful purpose in the immigration process and run contrary to our American values.”
Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev.Senator Heller tweeted that he was “deeply troubled by the appearance of religious ban. The use of an overly broad executive order is not the way strengthen national security.”
Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb.
In a press release, the senator from Nebraska said, “The President is right to focus attention on the obvious fact that borders matter. At the same time, while not technically a Muslim ban, this order is too broad.”
Senator Sasse said that the two ways “to lose our generational battle against jihadism” are firstly to pretend jihadi terrorism has no connection to Islam. Secondly, said the senator, “If we send a signal to the Middle East that the U.S. sees all Muslims as jihadis, the terrorist recruiters win by telling kids that America is banning Muslims and that this is America versus one religion.”
Amash said he agrees with the need for tougher vetting of refugees, “but a blanket ban represents an extreme approach not consistent with our nation’s values.”
Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo.
“While I’ve supported heightened vetting procedures, I have never, nor will I ever support a blanket travel ban for people solely based on ethnic or religious grounds,” Rep. Coffman tweeted.
Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla.
Rep. Curbelo tweeted, “US permanent residents shouldn’t be detained, deported, or discriminated against. They’ve already been thoroughly vetted #executiveorders.”Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa.
“This is ridiculous,” Rep. Dent told The Washington Post. “I guess I understand what his intention is, but unfortunately the order appears to have been rushed through without full consideration. You know, there are many, many nuances of immigration policy that can be life or death for many innocent, vulnerable people around the world.”
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa.
“The president’s policy entirely misses the mark,” Rep. Fitzpatrick said in a statement.
“The reality is, terrorism inspired by radicalism and hate is global in scope and, as such, requires a comprehensive response, not a purely regional focus. While serious actions are needed to protect our country, these must not be done in a way that singles out any specific nations or ethnicities.”
Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas
“This visa ban is the ultimate display of mistrust and will erode our allies’ willingness to fight with us,” Rep. Hurd told CNN. “The ban also provides terrorists with another tool to gain sympathy and recruit new fighters.”
Rep. Ileana Ros-Leithin, R-Fla.
Rep. Ros-Leithin released the following statement:
“I object to the suspension of visas from the seven named countries because we could have accomplished our objective of keeping our homeland safe by immediate implementation of more thorough screening procedures. I do note, however, that at least some individuals will continue to be admitted during this suspension period on a case by case basis and that the suspension period is temporary. In no case should this order be applied to individuals to whom visas have already been issued or who are already permanent legal US residents.”
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.
Rep. Stefanik voiced her opposition to the executive order on Facebook: “Our first role as the federal government is to protect our national security and I believe we need to work in Congress to reform and strengthen our visa vetting process. However, I oppose President Trump’s rushed and overly broad Executive Order.”
Rep. Steve Stivers, R-Ohio
Rep. Stivers said, “I believe the executive order risks violating our nation’s values and fails to differentiate mainstream Islamic partners from radical Islamic terrorists. … I urge the administration to quickly replace this temporary order with permanent improvements.”
These so called Republicans have shown more outrage over 100 or so Muslims who needed vetting at airports than they have for any terrorist attack carried about by Muslims against Americans, and on American soil. Shows you were their priorities are.
