Part of what’s made Donald Trump so popular is the failure of any one of the so called brilliiant experts in Washington D.C. to get ANYTHING done. Now, the experts are taking notice. Bernie Kerik, who served as New York Police Commissioner and as interim minister of the interior in Iraq had this to say about Trump:
Donald Trump has “exposed the members of Congress for their failure in protecting the homeland” and that is why he is resonating strongly with American voters, former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik told Newsmax TV on Tuesday.
“Why aren’t the borders secure?” Kerik, who commanded the city’s officers during 9/11, asked “Newsmax Prime” host J.D. Hayworth. “How did this woman get into the country on a K-1 visa, investigated by everyone under the sun and it turns out she’s a radical extremist?”
Kerik was referring to Tashfeen Malik, 29, who killed 14 people and injured 21 others in the San Bernardino shooting rampage last week.

The visa is issued to men or women who seek to come to the U.S. to marry a citizen. Farook was born in Illinois.
The couple, who met online in 2013, was killed hours after the rampage in a gun battle with police.
“How are we going to bring in tens of thousands of refugees if we don’t have the ability to properly vet them and investigate them?” Kerik asked. “That’s what Trump exposes.”
Kerik’s comments expose the underlying silliness of the current GOP. Candidates like Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush are on the one hand promising security by projection of force overseas, while at the same time encouraging the sort of open border policies that make it so easy to attack us at home. Trump gets that the two are related, as anyone should.
