Rand Paul reacts to Trump's anti-Muslim comments

I've been waiting for this with bated breath all day. How about you?

In the wake of Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric, “I think stricter scrutiny is a good idea.”

Paul said he disagreed with having a religious test. “But I think if we want to say there is no religious aspect to this war, I think that’s a big mistake,” he told Couric. ...

“I think there are a lot of people hell-bent on attacking us, and we do have to review who is coming, and how many people come, and where they come from,” said Paul. “I’m no big fan of Donald Trump. … But I also think it’s unfair to say he’s the biggest recruiter for ISIS.”...

“Right now, all of Europe can come and visit our country with no visa,” he told Couric. “I think that’s a recipe for disaster and we are eventually going to be attacked by people who come from Europe. Why? Because Europe has a significant population now of those who believe that violence is justified.”


Bzzzzzzzzzzt! Several European countries are not included in the visa waiver program, including Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.
