You wonder how much of this sort of thing comes with the age of some of these politicians. It's as if they don't really realize that we live in an age where virtually everything they've done publicly is easily accessed via a Google search.

It was a long journey for Indian snowshoe champion Tanveer Hussain and his team manager to the World Snowshoe Championships in Saranac Lake, N.Y., last weekend.
The two men were initially denied visas to travel to the United States in the chaotic days following the Trump administration’s travel ban. The reasons for the rejections remain unclear — India is not among the seven countries named in Trump’s executive order — but after the intervention of Saranac Lake’s mayor and the office of Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi reversed its decision.
Hussain and team manager Abid Khan arrived Feb. 23 in the bucolic Adirondacks town, which had been following their visa ordeal and extended them a hero’s welcome. Locals offered congratulations and free lodging at an inn that in the snow looked like a “fairy tale scene from a movie,” Khan said in a Facebook post.
The “fairy tale” was shattered Wednesday when Hussain, 24, was arrested and charged with felony sexual abuse and child welfare endangerment, police said.
The parents of the 12-year-old girl who was allegedly involved said the incident happened Monday, after the three-day snowshoe competition, and reported it to local authorities.

Virginia Senator Tim Kaine's son, Linwood Michael Kaine, was arrested during a "March 4 Trump" rally in Minnesota on suspicion of felony second-degree riot, according to a Ramsey County Sheriff's Department arrest log.
Linwood Kaine, 24, who also goes by "Woody," was among five people taken into custody in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Saturday.
Is this the 300 to whom you refer?
This Woody?

I wonder if the good folks here realize just how much worse this pic exchange on this particular subject could have been? ;)

Hillary Clinton's team met with Russian ambassador, says Kremlin spokesman, as he warns against 'hysteria'
So you're just a straight-up bigot now?
Edit: And before you lean in with that tenuous "The Feckless Left calls everything they don't like racist" cudgel, I certainly do not have a history of doing that. But sometimes words and actions really do reflect bigotry, and saying "a lot of insane people end up being Muslim" is pretty ****ing senselessly bigoted, bro, not to mention unsupported by facts.

Same.

Not sure the point of this post? The alleged abuse is terrible, but it appears entirely ex post facto to the visa denial and pretty irrelevant to said topic.

Can't she just stay in the woods? Maybe the current administration should consider her for Secretary of the Interior, and then set her up a field-office deep in the Grand Canyon Gems.
