Trump: Syrian Refugees Could Be ‘One Big Fat Trojan Horse’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
TODD: “I’m joined on the phone by the Republican presidential front-runner right now Donald Trump. Mr. Trump, welcome back to ‘Meet the Press.’”
TRUMP: “Good morning.”
TODD: “Let me ask you about these claims this way. You demand and you’ve demanded of me pinpoint accuracy when I report on things about you, including, for instance, your net worth. Why shouldn’t we demand the same pinpoint accuracy in the claims that you make? Isn’t it hypocritical of you calling us out if we’re not calling you out when you stray from the truth?”
TRUMP: “Well, now people have got my net worth right and they’re saying what my real net worth is for a long time. You know, as a private company they weren’t doing that but now they’re doing it, largely, I guess, due to the big filing that I made with the federal government, with the fec. As far as all of these claims, I believe it’s the Obamas’ intention. They said 10,000 people, Syrians, we don’t want them because we don’t know who they are and I love the idea of building a safe zone someplace in Syria but they said 10,000 and yet the democratic debate they said 65,000 to the best of my recollection. Hillary said it and so did Bernie Sanders. You’re saying Bernie Sanders is so honest, I doubt that very much. But Bernie Sanders said it and Hillary said it. I think they were talking in the Democrat debate. I think they were talking about 65,000. I have it upon a certain amount of knowledge. I’m very friendly with people on both sides that Obama’s plan is 200,000 to 250,000. So he said 10,000, the debate said 65,000 already before we even start and I think what he really has in mind is 200,000 people and maybe even more than that coming into our country and we can’t have it. We don’t know who these people are, they’re undocumented totally. And by the way, even if it’s 10,000, we can’t have it. We can’t have people coming in that we know nothing about. There is no paperwork. And for good reason. But there’s no paperwork and this is going to be or has the potential to be one big fat Trojan horse and we cannot have that.”
