Democrats and GOP lawmakers have recently rebuked the five House Republicans – Reps. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., Trent Franks, R-Ariz., Thomas Rooney, R-Fla., Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., and Louie Gohmert, R-Texas – for their public denunciation of the Obama administration’s acceptance of the Muslim Brotherhood and questioning the ties of some administration figures to the radical organization.
McCarthy explained why the reaction to the five House members has been so severe on both sides of the aisle.
“This is not just an Obama administration regard for the Muslim Brotherhood,” he said. “This is a bipartisan, ruling-class in Washington perception of the Muslim Brotherhood.
“Some of it has to do with preparing the ground for failure. Some of it has to do with the fact that you have a lot of people in the Republican establishment who have married themselves to this idea of democratizing the Middle East. It’s that idea that has brought these Islamist organizations into power in the first place. They, too, have an interest in the way people see that. I see it as a catastrophe. They want to see it as an evolving democratic process, at least that’s how they want people to see it. What’s happening is, the five Republican conservative members of the House who raised these questions are basically holding up the mirror to the disaster that’s happening before our very eyes.”Do you still think Bachmann is the Kook?
If you do, then you may be the Real Kook!
