DEPENDING ON WHO YOU ASK, THE REACTION IS DIFFERENT TO THE
ATTACKS IN CHELSEA AND NEW JERSEY.
WE WILL GO THROUGH SOME
OF THE CHOICE REACTIONS AND TALK ABOUT THEM.
FIRST UP WE GO TO
COREY LEWANDOWSKI, CNN CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER TRUMP
CAMPAIGN --
STILL BEING PAID BY THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
STILL BEING PAID, STILL ON CNN.
HE SEEMS TO BE BLAMING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FOR THE ATTACK.
I THINK WHAT IT IS IS IT RE-HIGHLIGHTS THE PROBLEMS WE
HAVE WITH OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM.
WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT 40%
OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY HAVE OVERSTAYED THEIR
VISAS, AND WHAT WE HEAR FROM THE REPORTS THIS MORNING IS THAT
THIS PERSON IS EITHER POTENTIALLY OF AFGHANI DESCENT
--
A NATURALIZED CITIZEN.
IS THAT THE REPORT FOR THIS PERSON WHO COMMITTED A TERRORIST
ACT IN THIS COUNTRY?
YES, HE'S A NATURALIZED CITIZEN.
TO BE FAIR HE DIDN'T DO THE READING.
SO HE MAKES IT CLEAR
THAT HE TRIES TO CONNECT THE PERPETRATOR TO ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
HERE'S HIS RESPONSE.
WAS THE PROPER WORK DONE, WAS HE IN THE COUNTRY LEGALLY?
THE
SAN BERNARDINO KILLER CAME IN ON A K-1 VISA.
THIS IS DIFFERENT, YOU ARE MAKING A CONNECTION THAT WE
DON'T KNOW YET.
THE VISA IN SAN BERNARDINO WAS THE WIFE, RIGHT?
I DIDN'T DO THE READING.
BUT YEAH, THAT HIS RESPONSE.
WAS THE PROPER WORK DONE?
HE RAN A CHICKEN CHOP, THE PROPER
WORK WAS DONE, AND HE EITHER GOT MAD BECAUSE OF THE COMPLAINTS
BECAUSE HE ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO URINATE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD
AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD DIDN'T LIKE HUMAN URINE AROUND THEIR
NEIGHBORHOOD AND HE FELT SINGLED OUT -- OR IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE
THAT HE SYMPATHETIC TO ISIS.
OR BOTH.
CAN A MUSLIM CRIMINAL ANY LONGER BE JUST A GUY WHO IS
PISSED OFF?
IF PEOPLE CAME INTO MY STORE AT NIGHT AND JUST WANTED TO USE
THE BATHROOM BUT I KNEW THOSE PEOPLE WERE DOING TERRIBLE
THINGS --
BUT THEY ALREADY PAID YOU MONEY.
THEY WERE ALL CUSTOMERS, THEY EITHER BOUGHT CHICKEN OR
BOUGHT DRINKS.
I GET UPSET, BUT I WOULDN'T DO THIS.
BUT I'M SAYING THERE ARE CRAZY PEOPLE ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY,
CAN A MUSLIM PEOPLE JUST BE A NUT WHO WAS PISSED ABOUT HOW HIS
BUSINESS WAS DOING?
THAT THE IDEAL, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
THAT IS WHAT WE ARE STRIVING FOR IN THIS COUNTRY.
WE ARE ALL IGNORING ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES NO ONE HAS TALKED
ABOUT, WHICH IS WE NEED PUBLIC BATHROOMS IN THE UNITED STATES.
HONESTLY.
I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S THE BIG ISSUE.
I'M BEING FACETIOUS BUT AT THE SAME TIME, DUDE, IF YOU ARE
DRIVING AROUND THIS COUNTRY AND YOU NEED TO USE A RESTROOM, YOU
HAVE TO GO TO A STORE AND BUY A PRODUCT AND MAYBE THEY WILL LET
YOU USE THE RESTROOM.
HERE IS A TIP FOR AMERICA, MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW THIS YET,
HOTELS.
DON'T TELL PEOPLE THAT.
I ACTUALLY HESITATED.
AND I WAS SERIOUS WHEN I SAID DON'T TELL PEOPLE THAT.
YOU
HAVE TO LOOK NICE TO GO INTO A HOTEL BECAUSE THEY PROFILE YOU.
BY THE TIME THEY ARE PROFILING YOU -- JUST WALK IN WITH THE
PURPOSE.
THEY DON'T JUST LIFT YOU OFF THE TOILET LIKE THREE MEN AND A
BABY, WHERE YOU ARE SPRAYING EVERYWHERE?
THEY DON'T DO THAT?
ANOTHER RESPONSE COMES FROM TED CRUZ, HE MADE A STATEMENT SAYING
--
THIS IS WHAT TED CRUZ THINKS IS THE PROBLEM.
NOBODY IS PRETENDING THEY DON'T EXIST, IT IS A MOST
IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INTO THE UNITED STATES.
THE SCREENING
PROCESS IS EXTENSIVE, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXTENSIVE, IT HAS
NEVER STOPPED BEING EXTENSIVE.
WHEN DID THIS GUY GET HERE?
BORN
IN AFGHANISTAN IN 1988?
DO WE KNOW?
ENOUGH TO BECOME A CITIZEN.
JUST ASK ANYONE WHO HAS BECOME A CITIZEN HOW HARD IT IS TO
DO THAT.
AND DOES CRUZ HAVE A POINT WHEN HE SAYS WE SHOULD STOP
PEOPLE GOING ABROAD TO TRAIN FROM COMING BACK IN?
IS THAT A
THING?
OH, YOU WERE TRAINING AT AN AL QAEDA TRAINING CAMP?
YEAH, CAN'T COME BACK.
SORRY.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO CATCH THEM, THAT'S THE WORST STRATEGY.
THE
STRATEGY IS, COME BACK.
JUST GET TO THE AIRPORT, WE WILL BE
THERE.
COME ON HOME.
IT'S VERY SIMPLE AND THEY ARE MAKING IT STUPID.
HILLARY
CLINTON HAS A DIFFERENT REACTION.
BOO.
OH, SORRY.
CUE THE BOOS.
SHE SAYS --
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO TIE THIS TO THE REFUGEE CRISIS
--
THOSE ARE THE RESPONSES FROM EVERYBODY.
THOSE ARE PREDICTABLE AND SORT OF SANE RESPONSES FROM
CLINTON.
THAT'S TRUE, IS THAT THE LABELING OF THESE PEOPLE AS
BECAUSE WE OPENED OUR ARMS TO SYRIANS WE HAVE GONE TO POT HERE
-- THAT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING RIGHT.
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
DONE A LOT OF THESE THINGS HAVE COME HERE TO DO THEM AND NOT
BEEN FROM HERE.
PART OF ME IS LIKE I HOPE THAT WE PROVE THAT THIS ATTACK IN NEW
JERSEY AND NEW YORK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING, SO THAT
WHEN PEOPLE LIKE DONALD TRUMP STEP FORWARD AND SAY WE CALLED
IT AND PEOPLE LIKE COREY LEWANDOWSKI AND TED CRUZ WHO TRY
TO ATTRIBUTE IT TO REFUGEES, WE CAN SAY MEMBER HOW YOU SAID YOU
CALLED IT?
YOU DIDN'T, YOU WERE WRONG.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I MEAN, TOO, IS CAN YOU JUST BE A MUSLIM
WHO COMMITS A HORRENDOUS CRIME WITHOUT BEING AN ENEMY OF THE
STATE?
THE COUNTERARGUMENT IS WE SHOULDN'T LET WHITE EUROPEANS
COME HERE BECAUSE THEIR DESCENDENTS SHOOT UP SCHOOLS AND
SERIAL KILL IN WEIRD WAYS.
AS A PERCENTAGE OF OVERALL
POPULATION, IT'S A SMALL PERCENTAGE WHO END UP BEING A
PROBLEM.
AT LEAST OBAMA'S APPROACH IS PART OF A STRATEGY.
AND PEOPLE WHO SEEK TO INCREASE THE GIVE US YOUR TIRED, YOUR
POOR, YOUR HUDDLED MASSES, THAT'S PART OF A STRATEGY THAT
SAYS WE DON'T WANT TO ALIENATE THE MILLIONS OF LAW-ABIDING
PEOPLE.
I WILL AGREE WITH DONALD TRUMP, I DO WANT TO FIND THE BAD
PEOPLE.
AND THE ONLY THING THAT I WANT TO HOLD HILLARY TWO IS,
THIS IS THE KIND OF CHALLENGE THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN BE AND
IS PREPARED TO ADDRESS.
LIKE, THAT'S WHEN YOU CAN START GOING
POINT BY POINT THROUGH HOW THESE PEOPLE ARE VETTED AND ACTUALLY
FIND OUT WHERE THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ARE, AND ARE THEY
GOING THROUGH THE CRACKS?
AND IF THEY ARE NOT, THEN POINT OUT
EXACTLY WHAT THE TEST WAS.
YOU ARE RIGHT, IF SOMEONE HAS AN
ESTABLISHED BUSINESS HERE AND SEEMS LIKE IT IS TIED TO SOME
WEIRD MUNICIPAL GRIPE, THEN THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
THIS IS A PROBLEM, BUT IT'S NOT THE PROBLEM YOU ARE TRYING
TO SAY IT IS.
