Here’s some more poor timing. Less than two weeks before Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, an immigrant from Uzbekistan, allegedly killed eight people in a terrorist attack in New York City on Halloween, Rep. Yvette D. Clarke was promoting the Diversity Visa Lottery on her Twitter feed.
The Diversity Visa Lottery is now OPEN. Call my office if you need more information, or if you'd like to see if you're eligible to apply. pic.twitter.com/17k6sSSAQ2

The DVL is offered on a lottery basis to immigrants from countries who have low numbers of immigrants to the U.S. Please share! #DVLottery

As Twitchy reported, President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday morning about the Diversity Visa Lottery, which he called “a Chuck Schumer beauty.”
The terrorist came into our country through what is called the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program," a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based.

We are fighting hard for Merit Based immigration, no more Democrat Lottery Systems. We must get MUCH tougher (and smarter). @foxandfriends

No, Rep. Clarke’s tweet did not age well at all.
Her congressional district is in NYC. This tweet aged VERY poorly. https://t.co/Qq4bmSKSWV
