CNN suspended reporter Elise Labott for tweeting that the “Statue of Liberty bows its head in anguish” over the House vote on the refugee bill. Labott later apologized.
Al-Monitor journo Laura Rozen shared the opinion of a friend:
Syrian opposition friend on CNN suspending reporter expressing sadness over refugee bill passage: this is worse than Syria.

Laura Rozen makes the strongest anti-refugee argument yet. If true, Syria not so bad. (PS: It's not true) https://t.co/hVtlQSJIJw

Bad: Journalism turning into a giant opinion column. Worse: The opinions expressed are asinine. https://t.co/cb4Y4iCojc

Why do Liberals hate #SyrianRefugees so much? Liberals always claim America is racist and evil, yet they want the refugees here.

Yeah we're terrible, your Syrian friend should go back home and tell everyone not to come here. https://t.co/GDYzra1RNV
