Campus Reform recently took to the campus of American University in Washington, DC to ask students how they felt about some things Donald Trump had said.

Among them:

“We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented and unchecked” and “Illegal Immigration is wrong, plain and simple. Until the American people are convinced we will stop future flows of illegal immigration, we will make no progress.”

As expected, the students were disgusted with Trump, calling the quotes “hateful” and “dehumanizing.” There was only one problem.

Take a look:

That’s right. None of the quotes were actually from Donald Trump. They were actually from Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, and other “progressive” icons.

When they found out who actually said it, there was a lot of stammering and silence. Some just doubled down on being wrong, saying it’s different if a democrat said it.
