Trump supporters are fed up with knee-jerk left-wing responses to nearly every action the President takes.
Now he’s taken a bold stand on refugees.
And Trump just uttered four words about South African refugees that hit leftists like a ton of bricks and left them completely shocked.
CNN Panel Loses It After Trump’s Powerful Refugee Statement
A CNN panel discussion took an ugly turn after President Trump made a powerful statement defending his decision to grant refugee status to South Africans fleeing violence.
“It’s a genocide that’s taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white. But whether they’re white or black makes no difference to me. We’ve essentially extended citizenship to those people. And to escape from that violence and come here,” Trump stated with conviction.
Rather than acknowledging the President’s humanitarian approach, former Obama and Biden campaign staffer Ashley Allison immediately accused Trump of racial motives.
“I could guess—I mean, I think they’re white. They’re white. Thank you, they are white,” Allison declared on CNN when asked why the Trump administration was accepting South African refugees.
Rather than addressing the legitimate safety concerns raised by the President, Allison immediately dismissed them with racial accusations.
“If that’s how you feel, fine, then hold the line. But there are people all over the world, even people in this country right now who are seeking asylum, who have sought asylum, who are going through the process of asylum, seeking and have been detained by ICE and are being deported,” Allison complained.
She then claimed there’s “a genocide happening in the Congo right now” while dismissing the safety concerns of South Africans – directly contradicting President Trump’s commitment to protect refugees regardless of race. Allison further claimed these refugees don’t fit “the narrative of the type of immigrants that we want in our country.”
But the panel’s attack on Trump’s refugee policy took an even more shocking turn when Elliot Williams, a former Obama administration deputy assistant Attorney General, suggested white victims of violence don’t deserve protection.
“Certainly there are white people in South Africa who have been victims of crimes. That happens all over the world. That certainly does not entitle someone to the level of persecution to be entitled to asylum in the United States,” Williams stated coldly.
Left-Wing Media Exposes Its True Colors on Refugee Policy
The CNN panel’s remarks came just days after NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor made similarly inflammatory accusations against the Trump administration.
Alcindor claimed the administration’s decision to grant refugee status to South African Afrikaners while ending Temporary Protected Status for Afghans was racially motivated.
“I’ve been talking to folks, and they say, really, this is about race,” Alcindor declared on MSNBC, claiming some South Africans told her “they feel like this is the President essentially taking the side of people who are white over Black refugees.”
Both media attacks completely ignored the Trump administration’s clear explanation that refugee decisions are based purely on safety assessments and assimilation factors – not race.
When Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau explained that exceptions to the refugee program pause could be made where “it was determined that this would be in the interest of the United States,” adding that some of the criteria include “making sure that refugees did not pose any challenge to our national security, and that they could be assimilated easily into our country,” the media pounced.
CNN’s panel used this explanation to push their radical narrative, with Axios reporter Alex Thompson claiming: “This is part of a larger mission within the Trump administration, which is—a lot of the people, especially the senior people, especially people like Stephen Miller, see anti-white discrimination as a big part of American society.”
The shameless race-baiting by both CNN and NBC completely ignored President Trump’s own words that race makes “no difference” in his refugee policy decisions.
Instead, they focused on pushing the narrative that Trump’s administration is motivated by racial considerations rather than legitimate humanitarian concerns or America’s best interests.
While the South African President downplayed the situation facing white farmers, claiming “those people who have fled are not being persecuted,” the reality on the ground tells a different story – one the American media seems determined to ignore.
Trump’s decision to provide refuge to persecuted South Africans shouldn’t be controversial. But in today’s hyper-political media environment, even helping people escape violence becomes fodder for racial accusations if it doesn’t fit the Left’s preferred narrative.
The stark contrast between how these media outlets covered the Trump administration’s refugee policies versus their silence during the Biden administration’s border crisis reveals their true agenda – attacking Trump at all costs, even if it means dismissing legitimate humanitarian concerns.
As the administration continues to implement its America First agenda on immigration, the hysterical reaction from the media elite only serves to demonstrate how desperate they’ve become to undermine any Trump policy – even one designed to save lives.
