Tom Emmer: There Should Be a Burqa Ban in the United States

EXCERPT:

EMMER: “No, there should be no burqas. I’m sorry, if it covers up your identity, there should be nothing like that allowed. It is pure stupidity to say, oh well, you know, this is what they believe. Really? When we got shootings all the time? When we got theft taking place on a regular basis? There was a hundred shots fired, there’s — there’s a tape of it by the Mall of America. Bloomington, that used to be a wonderful place, is loaded with these derelicts. And there’s a shooting that takes place, and the Bloomington police chief, as I recall, said something when he was asked by, you know, can you identify these people? He said, well, you know, they come from two-parent households, they’re driving Mercedes and BMWs. Keep in mind, over 80 percent of this population is on welfare programs."
