“We need to profile, even when it comes to our immigration policy,” spat Walsh on MSNBC’s Martin Bashir show. “We’re at war, and this country got a stark reminder last week again that we’re at war. And not only should we take a pause, when it comes to our immigration policy, we need to begin profiling who our enemy is in this war: young Muslim men.”
Alright, Joe. Let’s unpack that bag of nonsense, shall we? Linking immigration reform to the Boston Marathon bombings is the height of being a fear-mongering jerk, playing at the country’s emotional vulnerability to make policy. Add to that a large side of racism with the explicit targeting of a minority group and there you have it: The worst thing you could possibly say ever. Way to go, Joe. It’s not easy being so awful. Can’t wait for the next time you speak on national television.
