Via Huffington Post. If only you hadn’t shut down the experienced group within your agency that dealt with these people:
John Kelly, the man in charge of protecting the nation’s homeland security, admitted Sunday that he has absolutely no idea how to prevent homegrown terrorist attacks.
“There are so many aspects to this terrorist thing,” Kelly, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“Obviously, you got the homegrown terrorists. I don’t know how to stop that. I don’t know how to detect that. You got other terrorist threats that come across the border.”
Kelly’s admission to CBS host John Dickerson was surprising, in part because of its candor. For all of President Donald Trump’s focus on the border and banning people from Muslim-majority countries from the United States, the administration apparently doesn’t know how to deal with what Kelly said are the most common types of attacks.
Maybe this is really just a brilliant fake-out, like saying the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike force was sailing to North Korea.
Then, after the domestic terrorists relax and let down their guard, we move in and give ’em the old one-two. End of story.
“Those aren’t domestic terrorists, those are patriotic conservatives expressing their God-given first and second amendment rights! ” is why he doesn’t know how to deal with them.
