Senator Lindsey Graham Claims Trump Border Wall is Defense Against 'Radical Islam'

[spanone]

Really Lindsey?

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham claimed that President Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border was part of America’s defense against terrorism and part of a global strategy against “radical Islam.”

Writing on Twitter on Thursday, the senator said the as-yet incomplete border fortifications would form America’s “last line of defense” against radical Islamists but offered no evidence that Islamic extremists had ever used the Mexican border to infiltrate the U.S.

“When it comes to radical Islam, a border wall is our last line of defense—not our first,” the Republican senator wrote. “Our first line of defense is a forward-deployed presence working with partners to disrupt enemy operations directed at our allies and homeland."

The message blended support for Trump’s contentious and elusive border wall with criticism of the White House’s foreign policy, specifically Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria where they have been supporting local forces in the fight against the Islamic state militant group, or ISIS.

Oh, wait, he's gone utterly round the bend. His adoration of the orange anus has rotted what he had of a brain.

3. Say how Lintseed?

The Walls of Jerusalem didn't save it Lindsey....Trump walls won't save us either the last group flew to NY, Pa, &DC in planes. Trump tends to disagree with US National Security, which try to give him advice, he'd rather believe others.

5. I have never heard of an Hispanic Radical Islamist.

It is possible I guess. Not very likely though.

6. Idiot

I suppose too that he thinks 9/11 would have been prevented by a big old sexy wall too. Perhaps those planes would have just flown right into the wall without damaging its big huge sexiness.

Nothing; the universe has limits.


Anxiously awaiting what the next crazy argument for that stupid wall will be.
