Dem Congresswoman Forced To Face Her Own Voting History After Calling Trump’s Travel Ban ‘Horrifying

Democratic Rep. Elizabeth Esty from Connecticut launched a tweetstorm Monday afternoon against President Donald Trump’s travel ban, but quickly backtracked after followers confronted her on her visa-related voting history.

Esty co-sponsored H.B. 158 on Dec. 3 2015, a bi-partisan bill that enabled the executive branch led by the the Department of Homeland Security to severely limit or curtail visas from countries like Iran and Iraq.

Trump’s list of seven countries came primarily from the text of H.B. 158, but the executive order allows Trump to place a travel ban from any resident of those countries, excluding those with current green cards or legal residents of the United States.

Boom!!!

We need to take to the Tweetsphere today to go over the hypocrisy of the left. Most of the Democrats supported Obama’s ban. Get out there and tweet it. Pick a rat and go to town.

That’s why all politicians preface any debate on the floor with a right reserved to revise or extend their remarks on floor debate. IOW, I reserve the right to lie.

This is how you shut them up. Facts, videos, voting records. Democrats are hypocrites. It is in their nature; they can’t help it.

Trump should have a team of people “fact checking” the Democrats and checking their previous comments and records. Hit them fast and hard.

The one benefit of having Democrats for all of our Senators and Congressmen is when they all go to Washington at the same time the I.Q of the State of Connecticut increases by about 7 points.

The Dems just remind me of the song in that old Groucho Marx movie.

Whatever they say they’re for....I’m against it....

Democrats are hypocrites. It is in their nature; they can’t help it.

They are not constrained by a compulsion to behave with consistency or with honor. You can point out their hypocrisy and they will simply shrug and counter "yeah well I never imagined we'd have HITLER running America!"

I am a little confused. Somebody help. All over the internet I see “travel ban”. Which Americans have been banned from traveling and why. Very troubling. Dictatorship is apparently here.

If these potential new orders are authentic, how are they getting leaked????

Is this intentional leaking? Does not sound like Trump, who says he doesn’t like to give the opposition advance information....
