Mississippi Governor: 'No Syrian Refugees For Us Until D.C. Takes Some’

We think they would be a threat to Mississippians, he said

Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant informed Stuart Varney that his state has not accepted any ‘Syrian refugees’ to date, and has no plans to even consider doing so until the District of Columbia takes some first.

Appearing on Thursday on Varney and Co., Governor Bryant discussed the stand he has taken against the Obama administration on behalf of his constituency.

“[We have taken] none so far, so certainly we can claim that as a win,” he said. “In November of 2015, I sent a letter to the President saying much of the same that other governors had said – that we will simply just refuse to accept Syrian refugees because we don’t think that they can be properly vetted.”

“We don’t know the specific background or identities of these individuals. We think they would be a threat to Mississippians.”

I say don't take any until Every member of Congress, every Governor, every Mayor, every City Council member, every College President, every College Professor that believes we should, takes 20 into their own private residence first. And add the Current president and first lady as well!

I fear for his safety.

Pray for him.
