Say What !?!

“The one thing I like about President Trump, he understands that we’re in a religious war,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Tuesday night, hours after a legal immigrant from Uzbekistan rammed his rented truck into people enjoying a sunny day on a lower Manhattan bike path, killing eight of them.

He said that!

Graham told Fox News the American people need to know, “We’re fighting people who are compelled by their religious views to kill us all. They kill fellow Muslims who don't agree with their view of Islam; they kill Christians and vegetarians, libertarians, Jews, you name it."

Vegetarians?! (Yes, I checked. He did say vegetarians.)

But we’re at war. So if you treat it like a crime, you’re going to get the same outcome as you did under the Obama administration.

Graham said under President Trump, “The gloves are off.”

"He’s telling the military you can go after these guys wherever they go. You can kill them when you find them, you don't have to watch them drive away. Now he’s got a chance to tell the American people, the homeland is part of the battlefield."

[...]

[Trump] is right to make sure that when somebody comes into our country from a place where radical Islam – and that's the enemy -- thrives, that we’re going to ask extra hard questions.

He’s also right to look at this as a war. The last thing I want this guy to hear tonight is "You have a right to a lawyer." The last thing (he) should hear is his Miranda rights.

[...]

There's enough evidence to believe that he qualifies as an enemy combatant under the law of war. He can be held by our intelligence community, as long as necessary to find out -- did he act alone and was he part of a bigger plot.

Would that not be the same if he's arrested and gets a lawyer as a criminal?  Would the prosecutor not be asking those questions?

Somebody pour Miss Lindsey a drink and lead him to a retirement home.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
