NYT: Donald Trump Jr. Faces Backlash After Comparing Syrian Refugees to Skittles That ‘Would Kill You’

Posted on September 20, 2016 by Luke Ford

All the comments in my Twitter feed praised him.

I guess it all comes down to the question of whose side are you on.

Donald Trump Jr and Sr are on the side of non-Muslims. The MSM are on the side of the Coalition of the Fringe, which includes Muslims.

This article is one-sided, only quoting critics of Jr’s tweet (with the exception of Mike Pence).

New York Times:

Donald Trump Jr. is facing intense backlash on social media after he posted a message on Twitter Monday night that compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles sprinkled with a few that “would kill you.”

Mr. Trump, a top adviser in his father’s presidential campaign, appeared to suggest that the nation was faced with a blind selection process in which a few potentially poisoned pieces would be lurking among the thousands of Syrians fleeing a brutal five-year-old civil war.

The post, shared widely on Twitter, drew swift condemnation and comparisons to white supremacist memes. Social media users shared images of bombing victims in the region, including Omran Daqneesh, the bloodstained, dust-coated boy who was shown sitting in an ambulance after an airstrike and who became a symbol of the suffering in Aleppo, Syria.
