FLASHBACK: Schumer: Refugee pause may be necessary | TheHill
Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the third ranking member of the Senate Democratic leadership, on Tuesday said it may be necessary to halt the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the United States.
In the light of Schumer’s emotional speech, Twitter users are reminding the senator about a tweet he sent in February of 2015 – one which is now terribly awkward.
We must tighten loopholes in the Visa Waiver prgm, ensure passports can’t be faked & stop terrorists who want to exploit the system.

D.C. sandwich chain owner learns there’s nothing liberals won’t boycott « Hot Air
If you’re a liberal these days, you may have trouble keeping up with all of the new actions coming out of the Trump White House which enrage you.

On that last point you can now add one more to the list. The evil ownership of Taylor Gourmet, a local chain of hoagie shops around the Beltway, has gone too far and drawn the ire of progressive activists.

The specific target of liberal ire is Casey Patten, co-founder of the business.
