Dem lawmaker trolls Trump with Dr. Evil joke
http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/317889-dem-lawmaker-trolls-trump-with-dr-evil-jokeRep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) trolled President Trump on Friday evening with a tweet invoking the villain in the comedy "Austin Powers" in a comment about the president's executive action on immigration.
"POTUS took strong stand against Dr. Evil, effectively barring him from country. Unclear whether the ban would include his clone, Mini Me." Schiff tweeted, alongside a message from Trump that said, "we must keep 'evil' out of our country."
In a second tweet, Schiff questioned why Trump put evil in quotation marks.
"What are we to understand from Trump's quotes around "evil"? Refugees are evil? Only Muslim refugees? How about bigotry? That's pretty evil," Schiff added.
