Rubio: Obama’s Strategy to Fight ISIS ‘Leaves People Scratching Their Head’

‘You have a president that’s spent the better part of two weeks accusing Republicans of being xenophobes because we want to put reasonable restrictions on the refugee program’

HEWITT: "We have lots of misdirection on gun control, on the global climate change causes terrorism. Are those helpful? Or do they divert us as well from the real problem?"
RUBIO: "They’re inexplicable, and I just don’t understand, other than they don’t want to deal with this issue, because it goes counter to their narrative that terrorism was on the run. But you have a president that’s spent the better part of two weeks accusing Republicans of being xenophobes because we want to put reasonable restrictions on the refugee program, focusing largely in a gathering of world leaders on climate change, when that should have been a perfect venue in which to convene them on a global attack on ISIS, and then come back home and gives this speech on Sunday night that’s supposed to reassure the American people. But in fact, what he announces is I’m going to keep doing the same thing we’ve been doing up to now, which of course has not met with success, and oh, by the way, cut out the widespread discrimination of Muslims for which there is no evidence of in this country that there’s widespread and systemic discrimination. And all of this just leaves people scratching their heads saying this is a president that either refuses to deal with the issue in front of him, or is just overwhelmed by it."
