Donald Trump’s last minute plea to voters is to blame 9/11 on Syrian refugees

In a campaign that began by calling Mexican’s rapists, Donald Trump is ending his campaign by blaming the Sept. 11 attacks on refugees.

Appearing on radio station 970 WFLA in Tampa Bay, Florida with hosts Jack Harris and Tedd Webb, Trump reiterated his plan for “extreme vetting” of Syrian refugees, Florida Politics reports.

“You look at Orlando, you look at San Bernardino, you look at the World Trade Center,” he said. “We can’t look at what’s happened in Paris. We just can’t allow this. We have too many problems. We have to protect our people.”

None of those involved in the attacks in the United States were refugees from Syria or elsewhere.

He continued, saying that he was shocked making the call would be so controversial, though he didn’t refer to his plan by its previous name: The Muslim Ban. He claims that the issue resonated with his supporters and attributed that to much of his success.
