Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump's terrifying responses to Nice terror attack
Latest

After at least 84 people were killed in the terrorist attack in Nice, France, Donald Trump, the presumptive presidential nominee for the Republican Party, was asked for his response. Then someone pulled the string in his back, and he responded as follows:
I’d be making it very, very hard for people to come into our country, for one thing, from terrorist areas. I would be so extreme in terms of documentation. We have people that Hillary Clinton wants to allow 550% more than Obama, and Obama is allowing a lot of people to come in, and we have no idea who they are. They are from Syria, maybe, but they have no paperwork, many times they don’t have documentation proper. I would make it—I would not allow people to come in from terrorist nations. I would do extreme vetting—I would call it extreme vetting, too—and, you know, our country has tremendous problems. We don’t need any more of the problems.
Trump’s call for a crackdown on immigration as a response to terrorism is now a familiar refrain. What’s different this time is an accompaniment by a featured artist who apparently still desperately wants to be Trump’s vice presidential candidate.
