And of course everyone else in the running for the Guardians of Purity GOP Party’s 2016 Campaign to Whiten the White House–Ben Carson being the exception has to have something even more inflammatory flamboyant to say:
Ben Carson: Stop funding them (what does that even mean? And is that before or after we fill the pyramids with grain)
Marco Rubio: Turn them away (like an encyclopedia salesman?)
Ted Cruz: Ban them — unless they’re Christian (are you sure you want to say that?)
Jeb Bush: Strengthen screenings, and focus on helping Christians (et tu Jeb!)
Rand Paul: Block their visas (you’re really not trying anymore are you?)
John Kasich: Ban them — and keep them out of Ohio (but if they’re in Indiana that’s Ok? How about Michigan?)
Carly Fiorina: No more humanitarian efforts (you really do have a Dalmatian coat don’t you?)
Mike Huckabee: “Close our borders,” and place refugees in “encampments” abroad (Oh, I know this one…encampments like Dachau or Manzanar)
Chris Christie: Ban them — even the kids (even the kids?!?)
