Navy SEAL Commander-Turned-Congressman Ryan Zinke Slams Obama for Plan to Bring Terrorists to America

Statement

Date: Feb. 23, 2016
Location: Washington, DC

The following statement is from Montana Congressman and retired U.S. Navy SEAL Commander Ryan Zinke:

"President Obama's plan to bring terrorists to American soil is absurd, illegal and falls tragically short of the acceptable conduct of the Commander in Chief. I cannot stress enough how dangerous President Obama's plan is, and the threats it poses to Americans at home and abroad are real. The President believes these terrorists are reformable, but I -- and the men and women I commanded -- know the truth. I helped put many of these criminals in jail and unfortunately I know the atrocities they've committed.

"Roughly 30 percent of the former Gitmo detainees have returned to jihad to carry out attacks against American troops and allies. But Obama does not care. Not only does the President want to transfer these detainees, he wants to bring them to our shores. This President is more concerned with his legacy than he is the safety and wellbeing of American families and troops."
