Huckabee: How Can We ‘Keep America-Hating Anti-Semitic Terrorists Out of Our Synagogues When We Can’t Even Keep Them Out of Congress?’

CNSNews.com) – Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee appeared to take a dig at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) on Monday when he asked how we can “expect to keep America-hating, anti-Semitic terrorists out of our synagogues when we can't even keep them out of Congress.”
Huckabee was referencing the hostage standoff at a Jewish synagogue in Dallas, Texas, during which a terrorist took four people hostage before being killed.
The FBI was criticized for saying that Malik Faisal Akram was “singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community.” They said that Akram had spoken repeatedly about Aafia Siddiqu “a convicted terrorist who is serving an 86-year prison sentence in the United States on terrorism charges.”
“I don't want to take anything away from the FBI agents who helped end the crisis, but let's give credit where credit is due. The real hero here was that young rabbi who literally put his life on the line and took action throwing the chair in order to give those other parishioners an opportunity to get out,” Huckabee told Fox News’s “Hannity.”
