He’s ignoring the genocide of Christians and other religious groups, and still refuses to say ‘radical Islam.’ Hours before the attacks in Paris he said ISIS is contained, minimizing the seriousness of the threat they pose. Top FBI officials said there’s no way to adequately screen all the Syrian refugees the Obama administration plans to accept into the U.S. Given these circumstances, I agree with Governor Jindal’s executive order halting President Obama’s plan.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
