The President, who won the 'Lie of the Year' award for ObamaCare, is now the front runner in a far more dangerous category: "Vetting Syrian Terrorists....er, Refugees.'
This morning the battle between truth and dishonesty was played out between proxies for the two side:
Representatve Peter King, and Mika Brzezinski....
It was dynomite:
"Rep. King To MSNBC’s Brzezinski: ‘You Are 1,000 Percent Wrong’ On Refugee Vetting Process
1. ....a heated debate over the viability and quality of the vetting process that would allow Syrian refugees into America.
2. ....King explained, “I’m extremely concerned because what the president is telling us is not true. We cannot vet the refugees from Syria.”
PETER KING: I’m extremely concerned because what the president is telling us is not true. We cannot vet the refugees from Syria. There are no databases to work against. There are no government records. And when I talk to people involved in the vetting, they have no confidence at all in the people that are being allowed in. There’s no way. People talk about thorough vetting, there is no vetting as a practical matter. That is the reality.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Hold on a second. There is vetting.
KING: There is not. Mika —
BRZEZINSKI: “There are face-to-face interviews, there’s health screenings. Often it takes two years for a family to get here.
KING: Mika, you’re entirely wrong. You are wrong, you are wrong.
BRZEZINSKI: Actually, sir, I think you’re wrong.
KING: I met with the people doing the interviews. I’m talking to the people involved in the highest levels of government. They tell us that they have no confidence at all. This is not proper vetting. I’m telling you that.
BRZEZINSKI: But the vetting is happening whether you like it or not.
KING: No, it is not a real vetting. You can’t vet if you have nothing to base it against. You are wrong, Mika. You are 1,000 percent wrong, W-R-O-N-G.
BRZEZINSKI: So meeting face-to-face and screening them and interviewing them and often making them wait months and years — that is not a vetting process?
KING: That is not vetting. That is not vetting. No, it is not. You cannot vet unless you have material to base it —
BRZEZINSKI: So should we say, ‘Syrians, stay out of America, you’re not welcome here?’
KING: Mika, we’re not saying Syrians. We’re saying these refugees. Unless we know who the refugees are, we cannot be allowing them in. My job is to protect Americans, not to feel good about myself, not to say that I’m doing something humanitarian. If Americans get killed because we are letting people in because they are not properly vetted — they cannot be properly vetted. How many times am I supposed to tell you this, Mika? You are wrong. They cannot, and it puts American lives at risk."
