Fact check: Trumps misleading attack on Gov. Martinez
« on: May 26, 2016, 02:38:24 pm »
Donald Trump took several verbal jabs at Republican New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez after she declined to attend his rally in Albuquerque. But his criticism of her effort to keep Syrian refugees out of New Mexico was way off base.

Trump wrongly claimed that “Syrian refugees are being relocated in large numbers to New Mexico.” Only 10 Syrian refugees have been relocated to New Mexico while Martinez has served as governor.

Trump also missed the mark when he boasted that “if I was governor” the resettlement of Syrian refugees in New Mexico “wouldn’t be happening.” Governors have no legal authority to bar refugees from relocation to their state, as those who have tried found out. The resettlement process is guided by federal law.

#neverTrump damage control fail. First it lied about why they had a spat. she started it long before the rally and then it omitted his criticism of her open borders La Raza supporting positions and how it was harming the people of New Mexico.

None of which has anything to do with the article posted by Free Vulcan.  At least Martinez's criticisms of Trump were clearly opinion, and not simply bogus factually as were Trump's.

If Trump is so transcendent, why do his followers care about #NeverTrump at all?  Why does our existence bother you so much if we're irrelevant?  Why let us live rent-free in your heads?
