This clip displays incredible dishonest gymnastics from @BetoORourke so let me break it down for you in this thread.

• He compares Nazi Germany to Trump
• He lies about a Muslim ban that we don’t have
• He claims Trump said Nazis are very fine people

The Nazi Germany part shouldn’t even have to be broken down because it’s so entirely despicable but I have to note how entirely devaluing his rhetoric is of the suffering and death Jews experienced at the hands of Nazis. It trivializes it by comparing it to political differences.

Now about @BetoORourke’s claim that there is a Muslim ban. There is not. Around 90% of the global Muslim population is free to travel here. The travel ban is instituted based on security threats that even Obama’s admin flagged as threats. 2 aren’t even majority Muslim countries.

Irony: @BetoORourke lies about a Muslim ban and says "Seeking to ban people of one religion, what other country on the face of the planet does that kind of thing?"

Israeli Jews are banned from 15 Muslim countries & 8 ban anyone who’s even VISITED Israel.

Lastly @BetoORourke’s claims that Trump said Nazis are very fine people.

Trump never said that. His words were taken out of context. He said in his "fine people" answer that:

“I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”
