Bashir To Tancredo: Would You Prefer Obama’s Death Rather Than Bin Laden?
Former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo appeared with Martin Bashir yesterday on MSNBC to discuss immigration reform, but the fireworks started way before the two came anywhere near that topic. Tancredo previously referred to President Obama as a greater threat to America than Osama bin Laden and Bashir was determined to find out just how seriously Tancredo was about that statement.
After Bashir and Tancredo disagreed whether the media would have treated President Bush differently if he had ordered the “assassination” the same way Obama had, Bashir seemingly tried to get provocative. Bashir strangely asked, “to follow your logic, would you have preferred then the death of the President as opposed to Bin Laden.” An outraged Tancredo responded, “of course not. My God. And that is not a logical assumption that anybody would make. Only you would say a thing like that.”
Tancredo argued his rhetoric about the President was always understood to mean that Obama should be stopped from getting a second term, and never that any violence should be perpetuated against him. It’s clear though that by the end of this confrontation, Bashir and Tancredo were not understanding anything the other had to say on this issue.
