That ‘dumb’ deal with Australia; the rest of the story

The left, aided by their bias media, was quick to chastise President Trump over his phone conversation with Australia’s Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull regarding a refugee deal agreed to by President Obama before leaving office, but it turns out that the PM was quite understanding.

To make matters worse, however, occasional Republican Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), couldn’t help but insert himself into the fray as a self-appointed apologist. It wasn’t enough for Trump to say he would honor the deal and the State Department to add that the United States would honor the agreement “out of respect for close ties to our Australian ally and friend.”

McCain called Australia’s Ambassador Joe Hockey to “express my unwavering support for the U.S. – Australia alliance,” and followed by releasing a statement that reviewed America’s long history of friendship dating back to the Battle of Hamel in 1918 and continuing through World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Before leaving office, President Obama agreed to take in some 1,200 Middle East refugees now held in island internment camps off Australia, (dailytelegraph.uk.au)

What McCain and the leftist media failed to mention is that Australia had been holding the 1,200 Middle East refugees in island internment camps for the past few years because … wait for it … they didn’t want them on Australian soil. But our bleeding-heart liberal, President Obama, who never saw a rotten deal he couldn’t refuse, agreed to take them off Australia’s hands. You just know that if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016, those refugees would have been placed in the U.S. without our knowledge.

The media ridiculed President Trump for calling the agreement “dumb,” but just about every agreement Obama or his minions negotiated was dumb.

Be assured that those 1,200 refugees will now face “extreme vetting.”
