I personally know some refugees, they got compared to poison by the 'other side of the aisle'

"Would you eat a hundred skittles knowing that 1 or 2 of them was poisoned? WeLl ThAt'S LiKe ThE REFUGEE PROBLEM!1ONE!"

And now...

"We need to reopen the economy, sure 1 or 2 people out of a hundred might get the coronavirus, but that's a chance we need to be willing to take!!1ONE!"

And they are called "patriots" instead of poison?

Disgusting.

Donald Trump Jr, the presidential candidate’s son, is all over it. Last night, he tweeted an image with the caption “If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful? That’s our Syrian refugee problem.”
