McConnell: No ‘Fear-mongering’ On Syrian Refugee Bill

Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says that the debate over Syrian refugees should be based on facts rather than “fear-mongering.”

Speaking on the Senate floor, McConnell, R-Ky., urged his colleagues to vote Wednesday to move ahead on a House-passed bill that would require new FBI background checks and individual sign-offs from three high-ranking federal officials before any refugee from Syria or Iraq could come to the United States.

The issue of Syrian refugees has become a major issue in the 2016 election, with Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump calling for a temporary ban on all Muslims entering into the United States.

I really hope Kentucky sends this AHOLE packing. If he and Ryan had ANY male hormones we wouldn't be talking about bringing IS IS here.

Mitch is showing himself clueless and uninformed once again. We have been warned over and over from the heads of agencies that really understand this horrible issue. NO NEW ILLEGALS or REFUGEES. period

What he is saying is you cannot disagree with my position on the matter.
If you disagree then you are fear mongering.
Do not fear monger (disagree).

Basic communication at a grade school level.
I don't understand why many people don't understand political speak.
It is easy to understand.

Political speak?? Are you insane? ?? If he and Ryan didn't fund Obama we wouldn't need another BS bill. Meaning we wouldn't need to hear from this rino. Do you understand plain English? ?? Political speak. Your a freaking disgrace professor. SMH

When Carter banned Muslim immigrants in December 1979 -- he gave the US Marshal's service thirty-six hours to expel all Iranian diplomats, too, it was not called fear-mongering. McConnell is ginning up the base. Ridiculous.
