TYT: Peter King Defends Surveillance State By Attacking Muslims
Congressman Peter King is from New York. He regularly goes on TV to fear monger against Muslims to protect the surveillance state. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Congressman Peter Kingtoday defended surveillance of mosques in the name of monitoring for potential terrorist threats. On Fox News Sunday, he dismissed the concerns of civil libertarians and said, “They can cry all they want.”
King insisted he understands most Muslims are good and he’s friends with a fellow Muslim congressman, saying, “This is nothing against Muslims, but the fact is, that is where the threat is coming from.”
He railed against “blind political correctness” and said there are plenty of cases where people in mosques openly share radical jihadist intentions but none of it is ever reported to the police out of concern.”*
