CNN host slaps down Congressman who cites American killers as justification for Muslim ban
Link to tweet
“Congressman, can you point to a single terrorist attack in this country that was carried out by a Syrian refugee?” CNN’s Poppy Harlow said.
“I think you could look at DHS records and see that refugees in general have often been the cloak under which terrorists do move from country to country,” U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA). “And we do not know who’s coming in to our country.”
Harlow doubled down, “But Congressman, I asked if you could point to an event that you feel justifies this ban, that has endangered or killed American people.”
“Poppy, let me point to it, Ft. Hood, Orlando, San Bernardino, and terror attacks around the world,” he said...
“Congressman, you’re talking about American citizens,” Harlow said. “I want to correct this for our viewers.”
The Ft. Hood shooter, she said, Nadal Hassan, was born in Arlington, Virginia. The San Bernardino shooter was born in Illinois. Omar Mateen, the shooter in Orlando’s Pulse nightclub massacre was born in New York.
“How is that justification?” she said.

I guess the lives of Daniel M. Ferguson, Timothy W. Owens, and Carlos A. Lazaney-Rodriguez don't have a lot of value to our media and politicians.

Maybe if the shooter's name was Muhammad instead of Ivan?
You might want to chill a tad now.
The constant pretending that this didn't happen or he didn't exist could have something to do with the color of his skin. He's a light skinned Puerto Rican and Iraq war veteran. People often try to deny that he's American.
Note: I don't mean you personally.
But why hasn't anyone heard of him?
Every time there is any mention of Muslims serving in our military, Republican politicians and social media racists bring up the fort hood shooter as if it has any relevance. And they act like there was only one shooting.
and I do appreciate your little "not personal" caveat. 
I'm a news junkie and never heard of this guy....I don't know that this was deliberately suppressed, there have been so many non-, religion based "random shootings, and they all seem to get a lot of publicity.
That being said, I firmly believe that the cause of most gun violence in the US is the LACK of gun safety laws -- Not Muslims, not a lack of mental health providers, but the open access to guns. It's appalling, and just one of the things we lost in the election, as Hillary promised to strengthen the gun laws. 
very visual impressions on my mind Thanks for the info
and the chill began. It is important that the all American interviewers are prepared to get to the truth.
Almost could feel sorry for them if they weren't pushing such toxic waste. There is a reason we used to tar and feather certain types of politicians... We need that sort of accountability again. I know that violence is abhorrently distasteful to to a philosophic mind, but PC culture has castrated us to such a point that we won't even stand up when we're being pissed on. Que Trumpee jokes...
