There’s no better way to ring in the New Year than having a few drinks (shots, anyone?) and reflecting on the past year. To help you out, Correct The Record has prepared a series of shots and chasers that highlight the GOP presidential contenders’ yugely out-of-touch and extremely out-of-date year.
Sit back and enjoy. First up is Donald Trump.
SHOT:
Donald Trump: “People can come into the country and we welcome people to come in but they have to come in legally.” [Donald Trump, Republican Primary Debate, 12/15/15]
CHASER:
Donald Trump called for a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the United States. “Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump wants to bar all Muslims from entering the United States. In a statement from his campaign, Trump called for a ‘total and complete shutdown’ of Muslims entering the United States until elected leaders can ‘figure out what is going on.’ When asked by The Hill whether that would include Muslim-American citizens currently abroad, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks replied over email: ‘Mr. Trump says, ‘everyone.’” [The Hill, 12/7/15]
