Priebus On Uproar, Chaos Over Travel Ban: We 'Apologize For Nothing'

Source: Talking Points Memo

By ESME CRIBB Published JANUARY 29, 2017, 9:54 AM EDT

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said in an interview Sunday that the response to President Donald Trump's signing of an executive order banning refugees and immigrants from certain countries from entering the U.S. "wasn't chaos" and that he would "apologize for nothing."

"It seems that a lot of the chaos yesterday could have been avoided, had you at least included some sort of timed grace period," Chuck Todd asked Priebus on MSNBC's "Meet the Press." "Why was that not included?"

"Well, I don't think you want to have a grace period," Priebus replied. "Then people that want to do bad things to Americans will just move up their travel date two days in order to get into the country before the grace period's over."

Priebus said that "a lot of people," including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, "would just tell you you've got to rip off the band-aid."

He's just another lying, racist ,misogynistic, treasonous, hating hack, who will do anything, and I mean anything, to promote his personal power. NO morals no caring no love of country, just power grabbing is all he cares about.

Senate, and now this wing nut and his fascist boss, the sexual predator, bringing that PARANOIA unto the masses, and guess what it some ways its working, because the masses have been Rat F***ked into believing this propaganda of PARANOIA, and now we have over 33 state , federal governments being ruled by these delusional right wing hypocrites, who live in a constant state of fear---------guess what we have that now, its not 1984, it's 2017. It started in 1981 and has continued unabated ever since.

And it all started with Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, and now Chris Jankowski, and the country gets the final solution of being Rat F***ked to have this "guy" go on a show to continue the propaganda of fear and and continue the citing of terror to hold onto power, and to violate every norm of being a civilized country with a Constitution, that is being shredded as we speak and see and hear, without "due process".

And just to add to this discussion, what would he say if he got, let's say banned into going into Canada, Germany, Bahamas, because he is a PARANOID delusion freak, that the government(s) determined from afar, that he is unstable to enter the country, because of his religious bent of hate and fear, and it was determined by his eyes and his rant.

Since you and your boss like to ban people, why wasn't Saudi Arabia on that list, you do realize that since you like to invoke 9/11 so much, 11 of the terrorist came from Saudi Arabia, or did you miss that part in your world

Either I'm over reacting or ...............
Priebus, "If we could wipe it off the history books we (would or could), but we can't."

Not If we could prevent it, but if we could alter the history books.

Freudian slip?

Damns strange choice of words................
