Pence: NYC Terrorist Is a ‘Naturalized’ Citizen and Should Have Access to Courts

PENCE: "I think the investigation needs to go forward thoroughly to determine Mr. Rahami’s motivation, his connection. We know he traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan. We know now remarkably that his father actually reported to the FBI that he thought his son was a terrorist, but for some reason, Rahami was not put on a terrorist watch list or watched more closely. I think this case, however it is prosecuted -- and he’s a naturalized American citizen and he has access to our courts -- however it’s prosecuted, I think we really need to think long and hard about the challenges that our law enforcement community faces here at home. We simply have got to move past this era of political correctness and give our law enforcement community all across this country the tools that they need to be able to do everything in their power, to prevent what happened in Minnesota and in New Jersey and New York from happening on our shores."
