We cant just be an opposition party, we have to be a proposition party. *** I dont like divisive identity politics, I dont like . . . dividing people and appealing to people [based] on what divides us. I want us to unify; I want us to inspire; I want us to be optimistic; I want us to get back to who we are and renew the American Idea . . . . Thats the kind of leadership I think we need. On the Syrian refugee crisis: When ISIS is telling us that they are trying to infiltrate the refugee population, its only reasonable and practical to put a pause on the program and make sure the proper security guards are in place, especially when our own security people [are] telling us they dont have those proper security safeguards in place. On a bipartisan basis, we passed with overwhelming support, this [refugee] bill . . . . Im hopeful that the president sees it our way. Im hopeful that the president comes around and listens to his own security people, so we can get this done. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
