[Agent Zero]

....and plays into the hands of terrorists worldwide who thrive on instilling fear. I'm sure every member of ISIS has retweeted his tweets today in glee.

• New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was asked about President Donald Trump's tweets on Tuesday's terror attack.
• He said they were unhelpful.
• In one of Trump's Wednesday tweets, he wrote: "The terrorist came into our country through what is called the 'Diversity Visa Lottery Program,' a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based."

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday called President Donald Trump's tweetstorm on the New York City terror attack unhelpful.
Cuomo, speaking at a press conference alongside New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and law enforcement officials, said the president was not handling the aftermath of the attack appropriately.
"The president's tweets I think were not helpful," he said. "I don't think they were factual. I think they tended to point fingers and politicize the situation."
After tweeting his "thoughts, condolences, and prayers, to the victims and families" of the attack on Tuesday, Trump tweeted that he was asking the Department of Homeland Security to ramp up its "Extreme Vetting Program."
"Being politically correct is fine, but not for this!" he said.
Then on Wednesday morning, Trump went after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, for an immigration program known as the Diversity Visa Program. That program was created in a bill that Schumer, as a House representative, introduced in 1990. But in 2013, as a member of the Gang of Eight on immigration, Schumer helped craft a proposal that would have scrapped it. That legislation passed the Senate but was never brought up for a vote in the House.

Trump is right. Why do we need a diversity lottery anyway? WTF is that? This sort of stupidity needs to checked and pronto.

If Trump is correct and this guy got in based on some progressive $#@!ry Schumer was part of creating then how is it that Schumer doesn't own a part of it?

For the third time. This guy entered the country under a bipartisan bill signed by George H W Bush.

I have already served. But yes, I am willing to help bring down Schumer. I do hope Schumer's terrorist goes to Gitmo for the rest of his life.
