Critics of the president were quick to note how long it took
Trump to get around to any mention of the Portland attacks, and from his
secondary Twitter account. Compared with violent incidents that were a function
of Islamic terrorism, the demure @POTUS tweet was remarkably late.
And Jen Rubin, bless her heart:
And Jen Rubin, bless her heart:
Meanwhile — and it pains me to write this — our president
acted like a clod, a heartless and dull-witted thug in sending out a series of
tweets. He — commander in chief and leader of the Free World — first retweeted
an unverified, unofficial Drudge
headline about the unfolding terrorist attack. Then he aimed
to bolster his Muslim travel ban (which is not supposed to be a Muslim travel
ban). “We
need to be smart, vigilant and tough,” he tweeted. “We need the courts to
give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!”
(Aside from the inappropriateness of President Trump’s tweet, he fails to grasp
that the courts in these cases are reaffirming our rights against an
overreaching, discriminatory edict.)
I have no doubt that it does cause her pain to write it. To experience her agony in full, go read the whole column.
