CNN host Chris Cuomo pushed back against Rep. Steve King’s anti-immigrant rhetoric on Tuesday after the congressman claimed that Syrian refugees should be turned away because no one from the Middle East had ever successfully assimilated into another country.
“It isn’t about if we can vet them or not, we simply can’t,” King insisted. “But we know if we bring in people from that part of the world, some of them will become terrorists. If they aren’t when they arrive, a number of them will be afterwards.”
Cuomo, however, pointed out that there was no evidence that Syrian refugees would become radicalized after moving to the United States.
