Keith Ellison Gets Called Out For Outright LIE On SCOTUS’s Travel Ban Decision

As I mentioned earlier today, SCOTUS upheld Trump’s travel ban on five countries. Some of which have a Muslim-majority.

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS TRUMP TRAVEL BAN. Wow!

And let’s be honest here:

The only puzzling aspect of this decision is that it wasn’t unanimous. The 1952 law under consideration (Immigration and Nationality Act) couldn’t more clear. https://t.co/GVfim5NFEj

“Whenever the president finds that the entry of…any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.” – Federal law. https://t.co/GVfim5NFEj

The decision was 5-4.

5 Justices voted to uphold federal law. 4 voted for feeeeeelings.

Anyway, Keith Ellison tweeted about it, (He’s on the feeeeeelings side, obviously.) and he either has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what he’s talking about, or he’s willingly misleading his base.

My guess? It’s a little of both. The guy is dumb as a bag of rocks, but he won’t let an opportunity to rile his base go to waste.

The US Supreme Court just ratified Donald Trump’s “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entry into the United States.

Blatant lie.

If the Deputy Chair of the DNC took some time away from meeting with antisemites and advocating for getting rid of borders to read the facts of the case and the decision, he might know that this is completely false. https://t.co/6uTQRT0agp

HAHAHA.

Just as an FYI:

Did You Know: I’m sure you did

92% of Muslims are not affected by the travel ban

Indonesia is the most-populated Muslim country and not included

North Korea and Venezuela are part of the ban

The ban does not cover people who already have visas or green cards

but nevermind that.

IT’S A COMPLETE AND TOTAL SHUTDOWN ON MUSLIMS.  OMG.
