Regularly.
Didn't see anything about the part where people with green cards gave them up or were sent home.

The tweet points out that basically the moron brushed off the concerns about detaining a five year old boy and indicated he found anyone of any age or gender a potential threat.

Spicer, asked about 5 yr-old: "To assume that just b/c of someone's age or gender or whatever that they don't pose a threat would be wrong"

Do you know that Facebook option that people have where they can mark themselves "safe" if there is an event in their area? Like a shooting, fire, etc? Well, I have a friend who marked themselves "safe" after that shooting at the airport in Ft. Lauderdale. I thought that was weird because she lived in the next county over. At least a good hour on the interstate. Then it occurred to me that this is a problem with Republicans. The constant fear bubble they're in is disorienting their reality.

But NYC wasn't "with them" even though they claimed to be with us for a short period of time.

When I first heard it, I thought it was a slip, but then he elaborated on the issue again, and specifically said "children." It was surreal.

I no longer have words to describe what is going on. I had turned it off before then. Did the Press Corpse challenge him on anything?

The stupidity is mind boggling...

So Spicer thinks a five year old child who had already been through the security checkpoints when he originally boarded a plane can be a security risk to America? Shaking head...just WOW.

So, for his 5th birthday he got to be detained for hours on end as a "potential terrorist" with no food, 8 ounces of water and only strangers to talk to.
