How many actions of President Donald Trump have liberals expressed outrage over, when he’s simply done what other Democrat Presidents have?
One recent example that comes to mind is when Trump congratulated Putin after being reelected in Russia. No one in the liberal media blasting Trump for the decision seemed to remember that Obama did the exact same thing when he was President. Obama even congratulated more controversial leaders, like Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
More recently, liberals are outraged that Trump’s Commerce Dept. announced that a question on citizenship status will be added to the 2020 census. You know, that census that aims to garner statistics on U.S. citizens. The state of California has already sued to block the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 census. According to NPR, “The concern expressed by states with large undocumented immigrant populations is that asking about citizenship will scare people off, forms won’t get filled out and the count won’t be accurate, affecting federal funding and the number of congressional seats.”
Well, no wonder liberals are so scared. Among the other “fears” that opponents pretend to have, they include “reduced response rates and inaccurate answers” on Census questions. That’s really just another way of voicing fiscal concerns this change will have while allowing liberals to pretend their concerns are about accuracy. If illegals don’t respond to the survey or respond truthfully, that’s one less citizen the State they reside in has, making them qualify for less federal aid.
Ironically, it was a liberal who did the same when he was President. Former President Bill Clinton’s Department of Commerce asked about citizenship in their 2000 census.
The citizenship question was found in long-form censuses from 1970 to 2000. Citizenship questions have appeared in the U.S. census dating back to 1820.
Where was the hysterics then? There are 12 States suing the Trump Administration over this change, and it’s no surprise that every single one is a Blue State. I’m only confused as to why there’s outrage now. Anything to oppose Trump, I suppose?
