White House fires back at progressive filmmaker: ‘Dumbest statement of the year’

The White House fired back at "disgraced" progressive filmmaker and activist Michael Moore’s criticism of the Trump administration’s deportations, saying his comments are "a strong contender for dumbest statement of the year."

Moore, who has directed a score of highly politically-charged documentaries, published a lengthy blog post on Tuesday titled, "Our Muslim Boy Wonder," in which he warned that by deporting illegal immigrants, the U.S. may miss out on the person who could cure cancer, the next equivalent of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, or the person who will save the world from "the asteroid that’s gonna hit us in 2032."

"Who's really being removed by ICE tonight?" Moore asked. "The child who would've discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that asteroid that’s gonna hit us in 2032? Do we care?"

The filmmaker declared, "For every time I have heard a negative word or blatant hatred spewed toward those who came from afar, I have felt that I should pause, get down on one knee, and thank all of those who gave up their lives elsewhere to come here and be with us."

Best thing to do with idiot Moore is don't acknowledge him.

No one but rabid leftists believe anything he says.

Michael Moore, the gift that just keeps on giving.  Attention whore extraordinaire.

If that kid is going to cure cancer, they can pull it off elsewhere. Ditto, stopping asteroids.

Those are global problems, and could be 'fixed' from most anywhere.

Our medical industry is too busy selling useless shots and NASA is having problems getting astronauts back...

Seems more likely to remove the person most likely to kill you and have you taxed to do it.
