48. and she converted --- which was my point

Tue Apr 11, 2017, 04:34 PM

Apr 2017

I do not see how her dad can look those grandkids in their eyes if he does not fire this idiot. The second statement is far worse -- and note that he knew it too - because he backtracked after saying the word "innocent" -- but did not bother to immediately clarify that the Jews were guilty of NOTHING .. and being taken away to be tortured and killed in the "holocaust centers" was not less wrong than had they been gassed in their home towns.

In fact, the point was that the killing was NOT RANDOM. They were not just in the wrong place. The same could be said in Syria. Assad's coastal village was not gassed - a town near Homs was. (Homs was also where Assad's father massacred people.)

Trump needs to fire this guy. Maybe after Passover, Trump will hear from BiBi.

Yes, he did. Here's the quote, from CNN, which shows the video: MineralMan Apr 2017 #28
