GOP rep hopes Trump will shut down CAIR and other Arab groups
Free speech is in danger with views like these.
Republican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania told the Center for Security Policy’s Frank Gaffney on his “Secure Freedom Radio” program last week that while the Obama administration has turned a “blind eye” to Islamist “influence operations” in the government, he hopes that the incoming Trump administration will put an end to such activities, perhaps by declaring the Council on American Islamic Relations and other groups to be “terrorist organizations” and shutting them down.

Perry claimed that “there has been just a turning of the head by the current administration” to “organizations and individuals tied to those organizations that wish to subvert the United States government and our freedoms” and that “these individuals and organizations, including the Muslim Brotherhood, including the Council on American Islamic Relations and others operating in and around America, they have a different plan in mind, shall we say, for America.”
Gaffney asked Perry “if, in fact, the Trump administration is going to turn in a different direction on all of these things, would you anticipate that that probably spells the end for the kind of influence operations that we’ve seen on the Brotherhood’s part inside the wire, especially?”
“Well, we certainly, certainly, vehemently, just desperately hope so,” Perry responded.
