Ignorance isn’t bliss when it’s a knee-jerk reaction to a tragedy vomited out by someone with a xenophobic agenda.
Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina is already blaming refugees fleeing terrorism in Syria.
Duncan tweeted, “How’s that Syrian refugee resettlement look now? How about that mass migration into Europe? Terrorism is alive & well in the world. #No.”
In response to criticism on Twitter, Duncan fired back, “ISIS has said they will exploit the migration crisis. FBI confirms we can’t vet the Syrian refugees. I don’t want them here.”
He added, “so you want un-vetted Syrians refugees, who ISIS said they will exploit, living in your neighborhood? FBI says no way to vet.”
