Paul Ryan Lies to O’Reilly: Says He Passed Bill to Pause Somali Refugee Program

In a Wednesday interview with Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly, House Speaker Paul Ryan made a demonstrably false declaration about his efforts to pause the Somali refugee program.

During the interview, O’Reilly criticized Ryan for failing to message on immigration controls and asked Ryan specifically about the Somali refugee crisis in Minnesota.

O’Reilly: “We have a Somali problem up in Minneapolis-St. Paul. [We] have a problem there and those are refugees from Somalia. And if, God forbid, some refugee comes in and blows people up, it’s going to be grisly.”

Ryan replied by explaining that he passed a bill to pause the refugee program. Ryan said: “Right. Right. That’s why– just so you know that’s why we passed a bill pausing this refugee program, because we don’t think the refugee program works. That’s why we don’t want it to continue right now.”

However, Ryan did no such thing. The bill Ryan championed did not in any way pause the Somali refugee program– it applied solely to refugees from Syria and Iraq.

I have news for this bunch of trashy thieves.I was on The Trump Train from the beginning and not anyone can throw me off.
It is sickening to watch people slander Mr. Trump by calling him racist (term for anything and everything today), when he has shown for years of his life that he is not.
I wouldn't know if my car needed painting to do it in white or black. Which would be correct for a white boy?
