This is your daily reminder that identifying with any political ideology is incredibly stupid.
During an immigration address in 2014, President Barack Obama announced that America would continue to deploy a slate of aggressive immigration policies that included the deportation of violent criminals. In the address, Obama bragged that deportations of criminals during his presidency were up 80 percent.
We are a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous. That’s why over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80 percent, and that’s why we’re going to keep focusing on threats to our security.
This week, students at George Washington University told Campus Reform that President Obama’s 2014 remarks were “racist.” However, they were told that the quote from President Trump.
These students pretty much end up saying that Obama is a racist and a white nationalist for saying what he said in 2014
“I didn’t expect it to be Obama… it never occurred to me that it could be him,” another embarrassed student said.
“My understanding of Obama vs.Trump is that Obama was more liberal as far as amnesty… I expected that quote to come from Trump,” another student added.
This isn’t the first time students were “tricked”. It’s funny when they read them a direct quote (without telling them who said it) and ask what they think. When they “think” it’s from a republican, they go off on how bad it is.
Some are painfull to watch when they tell the kids it was a liberal democrat that the quote is from.
Silly sort of “gotcha” questioning/interviews that both sides engage in for yuks at the opposition’s expense, but it really doesn’t reveal much.
