Duffy argued in his CNN interview that attacks by white people ― such as the one in Quebec City ― aren’t as big of a problem.


“You don’t have a group like ISIS or al Qaeda that is inspiring people around the world to take up arms and kill innocents. That was a one-off. That was a one-off, Alisyn,” Duffy said.


Camerota then pointed to the massacre of black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, as acts carried out by white terrorists. Duffy tried to make lemonade out of the Charleston attack, in which a white supremacist killed nine people:

CAMEROTA: How about Charleston, congressman? He was an extremist. He was a white extremist?

DUFFY: Yes, he was. OK?

CAMEROTA: How about that? That doesn’t matter?

DUFFY: No, it does matter. It does matter. Look at the good things that came from it. [Then-South Carolina Gov.] Nikki Haley took down the Confederate flag, that was great.

That wasn't even the worst part. He also said:

"Duffy said Trump was justified in stopping Syrian refugees from entering the United States “until in Syria they figure out this conflict in the civil war and this hotbed for terrorism.” Presumably, however, once the conflict is over, women and children, for example, won’t feel it is as necessary to escape their country to find a safe haven."

Actually there is no mystery about the civil war in Syria. It was ignited by the destabilizing effects of killing hundreds of thousands of neighbors by the insane war in Iraq. Then Putin interceded to ensure that the non ISIS rebels were stalemated and he could continue to maintain permanent chaos, very much the same theory that Bannon is using in the White House.

These guys are real idiots. I wouldn't let any of them change the oil on my car.

1. Okay, Dylann Roof was a bad guy; we'll take down some confederate flags

But you gotta take Adam Lanza and John Dear massacres for free.

A real compassionate bunch on the Republican side of the aisle, aren't they?

2. I know, right? Brought about something good - not one mention of the dead.

And the idea that white supremacists are a "one-off" event and not influenced by any organization or ideology.

The contortions of his mind...unreal.
