QOTD: Jeffrey Lord, Trump groupie #1
by digby
John Amato caught this doozy from Trump mouthpiece Jeffrey Lord. When asked about how Trump planned to sell his immigration policies, he replied:
"What I think he's going to do is appeal on economic grounds and frankly humanitarian grounds."
That's a good one. Sally Kohn, who was also on the panel replied:
"Donald Trump wants to round up, detain and deport eleven million people and bar Muslims, 1.4 billion of the world's Muslims, 20-30% of the entire world, ban them because of their faith.."
Lord interrupted, " That's not correct, Sally..."
Kohn was unfazed, "Ban them from seeing their family members and loved ones...no, no, no, but he's going to run as a humanitarian? That's going to be fun. (laughter) Just you know..."
He responded by asking if she wanted mass murderers to come into the country.
