Fox News anchor Shepard Smith used his show on Monday to insinuate Republican political leaders are little different than "the barbarians" of the Islamic State group known as ISIS.
Smith launched into a tirade after news broke that at least 15 state governors would refuse to accept Syrian migrants sent by the Obama administration due to security concerns.
"Our shining city on a hill is vulnerable. We've always known that. If we change it to accommodate the savages, have they won? And what then would be left to protect? We profess to stand as an example for all the world. Our unique experiment in freedom, tolerance, openness and equality is our gift to societies and peoples everywhere. Come, join us. Enjoy a chance at the American dream. Today, we mourn, but we cannot allow ourselves to become like those who want to destroy us," said Smith, Mediaite reported.
"We cannot resort to the tactics of the barbarians. We must fight for what we believe in and who we are, guard our freedoms faithfully for the generations to follow. And we must not let the rhetoric of potential and political extremists among us lead us to self-destruction. When there's panic, we show resolve. When there's calm for extremism, we resist. We are America. We must lead."
