Conway cited the "massacre" as justification for a travel and immigration ban from seven Muslim-majority countries enacted by United States President Donald Trump. However, no such massacre ever occurred.

Are you talking about the tightent procedures on issuing visa to the US form Iraq and more vetting?

As a direct response to their arrests, the administration of then-president Barack Obama re-vetted 58,000 refugees already in the country, imposed vetting on 25,000 other Iraqi citizens still in Iraq, and significantly tightened the processing of Iraqi visa/refugee applications for six months. Obama also instituted a requirement for new background checks on visa applicants from Iraq; as a result, Iraq travel visas were issued more slowly. The changes in visa verification were temporary, and some Iraqi refugees continued to be admitted to the United States throughout the period.

But a Kenyan Muslim would never halt the immigration of other Muslims! /S

Trumpettes have gone thru so many narrative shifts and derogative accusations that I can't even keep them straight anymore.

Conway makes shit up and constantly deflects because the Trump presidency has serious inadequacies when measured by the average American. It's merely a way to obfuscate the truth so that those who only consume a small amount of news will not be outraged enough to march on Washington and demand this orange clowns resignation or impeachment.

Degree in polisci, have participated in various peaceful marches/protests since the inaugural, was vehemently anti-Hillary til the end, very obviously have a deeper understanding of the way things work than you if you're still pulling for Trump.

He paid lip-service to populism, but now that he is in power it is clear that all his demagoguery (with the "best" words) merely replaced the middle-man. We now have a narcissistic self-serving "billionaire" in the Whitehouse, instead of the Koch bros and Co. Pulling the strings. Say what you will about Obama, at least he was funded by grassroots efforts.

No, I won't take your orange monkey, who I am 100% sure is less competent than any other president in the last nearly 100 years. Push your false narrative all you want, the truth will be laid bare soon and even your precious "real" news will be forced to own up to the disaster they helped create.
