CNN Guest: If Gunman Targets Mosque Tomorrow, Carson, Trump Will Have Blood on Their Hands

CNN panelist Rula Jebreal said tonight Republican rhetoric on Muslims is getting to a point where if a gunman goes into a mosque to kill people, people like Ben Carson and Donald Trump will have “blood on their hands.”

Jebreal told Don Lemon she’s very disturbed by anti-Muslim sentiment fomenting on the right, between the man who asked Trump about America’s Muslim problem and Ben Carson saying Muslims should have to reject tenets of their faith if they want to be president.

She said it’s perfectly within the realm of possibility that someone “will go to a mosque tomorrow… and will start shooting people and then these people will have blood on their hands, all of them, Carson, Trump, and Ted Cruz.”
