'Overheated rhetoric that fans the flames of fear and prejudice has consequences'

Speaking at an elite Aspen Institute forum in Colorado, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson chastised Republican nominee Donald Trump without using the candidate’s name, decrying political rhetoric that “vilifies Muslims.”

“Overheated rhetoric that fans the flames of fear and prejudice has consequences,” he said at the four-day Aspen Security Forum, calling it “a setback to our homeland security efforts.”

The Colorado Springs Gazette reported Johnson said his agency has worked with American Muslims to improve intelligence efforts and get advanced warning of potential lone-wolf terrorist strikes.

We all know members of the religion of peace don't randomly kill innocent people, well maybe a few hundred here and there, but that is a small number compared to the world population. :whistle: Yes, we need to focus on the real killers in this day and age - air conditioners. :3:

not that i am a trump supporter- but what he should do is turn right around and say "You sir are the very reason this country is being attacked from within, and you should be ashamed of yourselves for not doing the obvious to keep America Safe! And when I become president you had better start looking for another job!@"

It is easy for all of us to make an intelligent retort to the Dimocraps. Trump is not up to the task- his tweets are always off the mark in some way. Expressing himself like a child is a YUGE problem.

Well that's what his speech writers are for- or spokespeople- He's gonna have to 'surround himself with the smartest people' in order ot accomplish anything- but given his feelings about allowing in muslim refugees- he's at the very least on the right track there by saying enough already- no more- his 'smart people' can take over from there-
