House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was one of a number of top Democrats to rip into President Trump’s decision to expand the travel ban to include six more countries on Friday -- with Pelosi describing it as “discrimination disguised as policy.”
“The Trump administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law," she said in a statement. "The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy."

The initial seven countries have restrictions on both immigrant and non-immigrant visas, but Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf told reporters that the six countries announced Friday are very different from the current seven, which is why the restrictions are lighter.
“These countries, for the most part, want to be helpful, want to do the right thing, have relationships with the U.S. and are in some cases improving relations, but for a variety of different reasons failed to meet those minimum requirements that we laid out,” he said.

Yes, I do, too, (despise them, that is...for all kinds and sorts of reasons). For the most part they, the Dems, are not even rational let alone logical. I think they are all suffering from some form of dementia and must be quarantined.
Ah, yes, I really like that idea. But then again, I have never met a psychologist or psychiatrist with an ounce of common sense. I doubt they would know what to do with someone like Tehran Nancy.
Trump should make a EO that says military aircraft are used only for military purposes and department of state. ..effectively taking her plane away. ...make her fly coach back to that crap stained city of hers.
Unfortunately, she has so much money she’s made since she’s been a Senator (I really, really NEED that job...I am so broke!) she can probably buy an airline company.
It’d be nice if China was on that list about now... just sayin’...
