Well this is awkward.

Donald Trump Jr's tweet comparing Skittles to refugees has caused a furore on social media. In a new development, the man who took the photo of the Skittles has revealed himself to be a former refugee.

David Kittos, 48, from Guildford, UK, woke up to find an image he had posted to Flickr in January 2010 had become embroiled in a political controversy.

"This was not done with my permission, I don't support his politics and I would never take his money to use it," Mr Kittos told the BBC.

"In 1974, when I was six-years old, I was a refugee from the Turkish occupation of Cyprus so I would never approve the use of this image against refugees."

He's obviously one of the poisoned skittles.
 
Like Father....Like Son. Stupidity must run in their veins. They simply cannot help themselves.
 
Donald Trump Jr.'s terrorist-Skittle analogy is completely wrong - Vox

The media is UNbelievable. So are you guys. Lord in heaven. An election cycle has NEVER been more ridiculous.

I think we can all agree on that at least. :)

Yes, on that we can.

Seems that the the left is challenging themselves as to how far out of context any one of them can contort anything Trump related.
It's actually quite amusing to watch as they each try to out do each other.

The other amusing aspect of this is that it's going to have pretty near zero impact on how the election goes, so they are fooling themselves as to their own importance and the importance of their contortions.
 
So was this guy...
Eritrean refugee rapes 79-year-old woman in cemetery in Germany

Theres a lot we could post on this.

That might have just opened Pandora's box that.

The EU nations are, and have been, having a devil of a time with the migrants / refugees they've accepted into their countries.
Seems that many of these men, and teenager boys, have no idea how to behave around women, opting for raping and murdering them, as per their Islam's direction.

Tell me again, why do we want to import this? Don't we have enough rape and murder already without adding to it?

I searched that image, and it's in the public domain. I don't see any reference to copyright on it.

For example, somebody is using it to promote party ideas

So what's the controversy?

It's staggering how warped the left has become as they clutch at any straw they can get in their grasp.

It should be embarrassing, but I guess it's worth the risk.
 
This is awkward how? It's a picture of a bowl of skittles that I'm willing to bet was posted somewhere on the internet and became public property. I go to google all the time to look up pictures for something. Here is one that fits right in here.

Well...since their critique of the argument is failing miserably and they haven't been able to tie it to white supremacists...obviously pointing out that the photog is a refugee just shows how really really really really really important it is to be kind and humane and to ignore the 90,000 or so violent crimes and murders committed by refugees throughout Europe.
