A newly elected California Democrat has joined the P.C. anti-American left that has tried to blame the Beltway snipers on the U.S. military and played down the fact that one suspect is a radical America-hating Muslim and the other is an illegal alien.
Right before Veterans Day, Rep.-elect Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., made some fascinating comments in an appearance Friday on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor."
She appeared along with her sister, left-wing Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Calif., who you might recall defeated conservative Rep. Bob Dornan four terms ago in a very close, very fishy, fraud-plagued election in a state where illegal aliens routinely vote.
Here's an excerpt from the program's transcript:
LINDA SANCHEZ: ... half of that sniper team ...
BILL O'REILLY: Yes?
LINDA SANCHEZ: ... was somebody who had served in the U.S. military, and you seem to be ...
O'REILLY: So what? The other half ...
LINDA SANCHEZ: ... forgetting that point.
O'REILLY: No, I don't forget it. I - that guy's going to ...
LINDA SANCHEZ: Well, how would we - how are we going to ...
O'REILLY: That guy's going to get capital punishment.
LINDA SANCHEZ: How are we going to protect Americans from our own ex-military servicemen?
O'REILLY: Linda, what difference does it make? What difference does it make if one was an American and one was a Jamaican?
LINDA SANCHEZ: I'm just saying you're ...
O'REILLY: The Jamaican shouldn't have been here. The INS should have had him.
(CROSSTALK)
LINDA SANCHEZ: ... in terms of assessing blame to a group of people and not really looking at what are the fundamental issues that we need to deal with, and there's a lot of ...
O'REILLY: The fundamental issues are ...
LINDA SANCHEZ: ... violence that goes on inside the borders of ...
O'REILLY: Linda ...
LINDA SANCHEZ: ... this country every day by United States citizens.
O'REILLY: The fundamental issue that all of you in the House have to understand is that the federal government has failed to protect the borders of this country. Thirteen million illegal aliens are here. And you know what? The mandate of the military is to secure the borders of the country. Which one of ...
LORETTA SANCHEZ: That is not true. ...
2. Why do she and her sister get ALL the publicity when there are 2 Hispanic (Cuban) brothers who are Congressmen from Florida (Republican)?...Oh, don't answer that...I know the answer already.
3. Happy Veterans Day to all ingrates like the California fools in this story.
