Remember when Donald Trump Jr compared refugees to poisoned skittles?

Donald Trump Jr. drew outrage on Monday for sharing a tweet that compared Syrian refugees to poisoned skittles. The image was branded with the Trump-Pence 2016 logo.

“If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. (sic) Would you take a handful?” the text read. “That’s our Syrian refugee problem.”

Refugees aren't skittles, but let's play with this: So, risking your life for your fellow man is "virtue signaling" or "being a part of the George Soros agenda" but risking your life for the economy is, what... patriotic?

Do I have that right?
