I often wonder what these guys are thinking -- or whether they're even thinking at all.
New York Rep. Peter King, a prominent House Republican, said there are “too many mosques in this country” in a recent interview with Politico.
“There are too many people sympathetic to radical Islam,” King said. “We should be looking at them more carefully and finding out how we can infiltrate them.”
He now claims his comments were taken out of context, but there’s a YouTube clip.
The DNC has denounced King for his bizarre remarks: "This type of bigoted language has no place in public discourse, especially from the Republican's top lawmaker on the House Homeland Security Committee," said Democratic National Committee Press Secretary Stacie Paxton.
And let's not forget -- King is listed as Rudy Giuliani's homeland security adviser. Maybe someone can ask him what he thinks about this?
