GOP Rep.: Obama ‘Stands Up for ISIS’ by Fighting Republicans on Refugees

Republican Congresswoman Ann Wagner said this week that when President Obama picked a fight with the GOP over refugees, he was standing up for ISIS.

During a radio interview this week, Wagner said the president’s comments about refugees––mocking Republican concerns and calling their rhetoric a potent ISIS recruitment too¬¬”disgusting” and “an absolute disgrace.”

She said, “He decided to pick a fight, stand up for ISIS, and stand up against the side of freedom.”

Wagner noted that it wasn’t just Republicans expressing concerns about refugees, but Democrats too. In fact, 47 Democrats joined with Republicans to vote for legislation to boost refugee screening procedures.
