“What the president did was take the first step through this executive order of ensuring that we’re looking at the entire system of who’s coming in, refugees that are coming in, people who are coming in from places that have a history or that our intelligence suggests that we need to have further extreme vetting for,” Spicer added.

While shedding tears, Schumer on Sunday described Trump’s order as “mean-spirited an un-American.”

“These orders go against what America has always been about. The orders make us less humanitarian, less safe, less American,” Schumer added.

Schumer, after Trump took office, said he would fight the president’s agenda.

“On most areas, we’re going to have to fight him, and we'll fight him tooth and nail,” he told NBC’s “Today” on Jan. 20.

The Hill sought a quote from Schumer’s office about Trump’s claim, and a spokesman told the site: “We’re not going to dignify that with a response.”
