Following the terror attacks in Paris by Islamic radicals, the Obama administration is preparing for a summit on “extremism” which is leaving many people wondering one thing. Who are they talking about?
Byron Tau of the Wall Street Journal:
White House to Convene Summit on Violent ExtremismThe White House will convene a summit next month on ways the U.S. and other governments can counter violent extremism and domestic radicalization, the Obama administration said Sunday.The Feb. 18 event will highlight efforts at home and abroad aimed at stopping extremists from “radicalizing, recruiting, or inspiring individuals,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in a written statement.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf appeared on the Megyn Kelly show last night and was asked by guest host Martha MacCallum to name the extremists. Like everyone else in the White House, she had a hard time putting it into words.
Skip to the 1:45 mark for the beginning of their exchange:
Who are the so-called extremists? Lutherans? Moonies? The constant refusal by members of this liberal administration to name our enemies is dangerous. You can’t fight an enemy you’re too scared to name.
If you watched the video to the end, you heard Ms. Harf offer reassurances that John Kerry is traveling to France this Thursday. Somehow, that fails to bring any comfort.
