Rep. Peter King: Trump ‘Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About..You Can’t Be Shutting Down Mosques’

Posted by | October 22, 2015 10:30 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Congressman Peter King has been one of the public officials most critical of Muslims. But even he knows the government can’t shut down places of worship.

Fox News host Martha McCallum played for King the clip of Trump saying he was “absolutely” open to the idea of shutting down mosques. “What do you think?” she asked.

“Donald Trump is talking before he knows what he’s talking about,” King said. “I have been critical of people in the Muslim community, but the fact is you can’t be shutting down mosques.”

      Thanks, Buford2k11, for pointing out the obvious. King has played an essential role in promoting Islamophobia and other crazy sh*t that has driven the GOP/TP farther to the right, so he shouldn’t be surprised at what his words/actions have wrought. When he was posturing before the cameras and peddling his special brand of BS, he wanted his party’s supporters to believe everything he was saying. Mission Accomplished. He’s indeed reaping what he sowed.

    Peter King said it was insensitive and wrong to build the mosque near ground zero.

      Which wasn’t a mosque in the first place, it was a community center.

        I doubt Peter knows that the Twin Towers had mosques.

        http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/11/nyregion/11religion.html
        Muslim prayer room on the 17th floor of the south tower.

        About three dozen Muslim staff members of Windows on the World, the restaurant atop the north tower, used a stairwell between the 106th and 107th floors for their daily prayers.

    Shut down mosques? Sure you can, as long as you also shut down a proportionately equal number of churches, synagogues and temples of every religion. No favoritism allowed. Then maybe we can start earning some property taxes from that land.

    Spy on them, sure. Infiltrate them, by all means.
    Shut them down ?!? Don’t be ridiculous.

    When King claims what you are saying is senseless, one must assume he knows what he is talking about because he has said some crazy crap himself.

    “Trump ‘Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About “, you mean you just noticed

    Is this the same Peter King who says there are “too many mosques?”
