Steve Schmidt on Travel Ban: Trump is Responsible For the ‘Fulfillment of Osama bin Laden’s Vision’
Mediaite ^ | June 25, 2018 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 06/26/2018 3:20:57 PM PDT by EdnaMode

MSNBC’s Steve Schmidt––who recently left the Republican party––decried the Supreme Court decision upholding President Trump‘s travel ban.

Nicolle Wallace talked with her panel about the SCOTUS decision, looking back at how we got from the originally-proposed Muslim ban to here.

She said, “I remember people in the intelligence community saying to me, ‘Who do you think we rely on the most in the countries that could represent the greatest geopolitical threats from us?'”

Former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi said that today “we became a little bit less of that shining city on a hill” into a country that’s now “closed to people not like us.”

“You cannot separate the policy that’s been carried out at the border,” Wallace added, “from the President’s celebration from what Steve Bannon described… as ‘travel ban vindication.'”

Schmidt said that “today was a fantastic fulfillment of Osama bin Laden‘s vision by Donald J. Trump.”

He elaborated:

“What Osama bin Laden hoped to provoke was a war of civilization. A war between the West and one billion Muslims. And so what Donald Trump and this Muslim ban signal to the world is that Muslims are not welcome here, that this is––whether the conservative justices say in fact this is about executive power––the President’s clear intent was to impose a religious test, and that is as fundamentally un-American as anything that he’s done over the course of this presidency.”

He said moderate Islam is a key force in helping defeat “extremist Islamic radicalism” and today was a step in the wrong direction on that.

Watch above, via MSNBC.

Let’s give Steve a diplomatic post in Somalia or South Sudan right away. No need for a security detail.

I’m not worried about “creating” muslim jihadis. There are millions of them, and always have been. I’m worried about keeping them out of our country.

The fact being of course the liberal is so damned transparent even a child can see through their so-called cleverness.

It makes perfect sense to me!

Because the Spanish and the Italians are racist, right?

They can close their borders to Muslims but we aren’t allowed to do it.

Because liberals believe the Constitution is a suicide pact.

Even if there was a religious test applied, the U.S. Constitution says only that it can't be to people seeking public office. It has nothing to do with immigration.

Yup.

Since when did liberals care about religious freedom in America?

They have been fighting its free exercise tooth and nail for decades now.

A sovereign country has the right to refuse admission to anyone without having to give a reason.

“Former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi”

Paid Soros troll and traitor.

We need to bring back dueling to rid the country of human cockroaches.

Shame on America for not welcoming millions of young male immigrants from Japan and Germany in the early 1940s!

They just wanted to make better lives for themselves here.

FYI-FoxNews just had this idiot listed as a ‘Republican’ strategist on Martha McCallum’s show, too.

Poor Steve Schmidt! He’s dead to Republicans, and the only Democrats watching him are the odd-dozen that watch MSNBC.

*SNORT*

Stay tuned! NEXT week, MSNBC will dig up some mentally ill homeless person to call President Trump, ‘Hitler bin Laden,’ ‘reflecting the way that people REALLY feel about him.’

LOL! I kill myself! They’re SO predictable!

P.S. Where’s Stormy been this past week? No more 24/7 coverage of her and her cleavage. What gives? *SNORT*

It's more than obvious that Steve Schmidt and John McCain are DEEP STATE Democrat operatives.

Both are very liberal and have outed themselves in 2017-2018.

We are talking MAJOR DEEP STATE Dem operatives who have been able to pose as Republicans over the past few decades.

Just wow. Steve Schmidt gets paid by MSNBC and think he hasn't blown his cover. Cover is Blown wide open. Once a covert lying liberal democrat posing as a republican, ALWAYS a a covert lying liberal democrat posing as a republican,

Dude is so obvious and continues to out himself. Okay... Get with it. Lying Liberal Democrat Steve Schmidt. Own your liberalism. We are on to you. You a deep state mole.

Steve Schmidt just like McCain 'Acts' like a conservative. Total joke. He's always been deep state mole and gets paid by msnbc to 'act' for a living posing as a republican. Haha
