When Rep. Peter King (R-NY) called a hearing on Muslim radicalism, he probably didn't expect Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) to turn the spotlight on "Christian militants."
But that's exactly what she did Wednesday.
Jackson Lee noted that one witness who wrote a letter to the committee about the dangers of radical Islam in prisons had been arrested for bombing an abortion clinic.
"Are you familiar with the Christian militants?" she asked former New York Dept. of Correctional Services official Patrick Dunleavy. "Can one might say that they might possibly want to undermine this country because right now the right for women to choose is a Constitutional right but people disagree with it but here is an individual trying to undermine the protections that are given to women? Would you suggest that might be compared to trying to undermine this country? That's a possibility, is it not?"
"Well, I think that anyone that goes about killing in the name of God is an ideologue," Dunleavy admitted.
