Fmr. Senator Kerrey: GOP ‘Rhetoric’ Around Refugees’ ‘a Little Disconcerting’

‘ISIS is killing more Muslims than Christians at the moment’

TAPPER: "I have to ask you Senator Jeb Bush — Ted Cruz saying Christian refugees should be taken in because they are being slaughtered and they are in a more dire straight than others. What do you think?"
KERREY: "They’re all being slaughtered. I mean, ISIS is killing more Muslims than Christians at the moment. Look, I think the American concern about security is a real concern. I think there’s a way to take refugees in without violating our core principles. But I think there needs to be some heightened security. And the rhetoric around it however is a little disconcerting. But when it comes to killing people ISIS is a greater threat right now to Muslims than they are to Christian."
