Video proof that despite denials, King did say America has "too many mosques"
Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King at his hearing on the "radicalization" of American Muslims earlier today, responding to criticism that he had once said there were too many mosques in America:
I said that there are too many mosques that don’t cooperate with law enforcement. I think testimony today has backed that up. I never said there were too many mosques in America.
Via ThinkProgress, here's what King said four years ago:
We have unfortunately, we have a, uh, too many mosques in this country, too many people that are sympathetic to radical Islam. We should be looking at them more carefully. I think there’s been a lack of full cooperation from too many people in the Muslim community. There’s a real threat here in this country.
It's like they've never heard of YouTube. It just never fails.
