Democratic lawmakers harshly and unequivocally condemned President Donald Trump’s executive order Friday that blocks refugees from entering the United States and bars all people coming from seven Muslim-majority countries.

The widespread criticism from Democrats contrasted sharply with the response from Republicans, who went largely silent after Trump signed the order.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said there were tears in the eyes of the Statue of Liberty over the president’s action.

“As the Statue of Liberty holds her torch of welcome high, there are tears in her eyes as she sees how low this Administration has stooped in its callousness toward mothers and children escaping war-torn Syria. This Administration has mistaken cruelty for strength and prejudice for strategy,” Pelosi said in a statement.

2. A Great Example of a Sock Puppet "Progressive" Is ...

...the Sane Progressive, who is here attacking the Women's March from the "left":

It is great to give critiques of Democrats from the left, but when you here speakers repeatedly making attacks like "Where are the Democrats?" when the Democrats are the only ones speaking up in opposition to Trump's moves, and giving Republicans a free pass, particularly Trump, then you may have a classic sock puppet.

I use the Sane Progressive as a classic example, because folks here occasionally cite her as support, because she calls herself the "Sane Progressive," but she rarely says anything negative about conservatives.

She claimed she was a Bernie supporter to attack Hillary, then attacked Bernie when he supported Hillary. She has also attacked TYT, Michael Moore, etc. Basically, her MO is to attack Democrats and progressives from the "left."
