https://www.google.com/amp/s/thinkprogress.org/amp/p/b1a591106139?client=safariEven in the wake of a tape of Donald Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women being released, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) continues to support his partys presidential nominee. In fact, McCrory thinks Trump is a role model.
Asked why he thinks that during Monday nights gubernatorial debate, McCrory cited Trumps unwavering stance on certain issues.
In particular, refugees. Immediately after he made the role model comment, McCrory pivoted to talking about how, in his view, the Syrian refugee situation is a disaster. Trump has vowed to stop the flow of Syrian refugees into the country and regularly conflates refugees with terrorists.
I personally talked to one of the top leaders of the FBI, and they kinda laughed and they said, Theyre checking the backgrounds of the Syrian refugees? No they arent, McCrory said. Theres no embassy to check. Theres no qualifications. So when Hillary Clinton says theyre doing a venting [sic] process of these Syrian refugees coming into our state, the FBI is not even being told where they are.
McCrorys claim about refugees not being vetted is false. Refugees go through an extremely rigorous vetting process that can take anywhere from 18 to 24 months. Its also extremely effective. Since the 9/11 attacks, almost 800,000 refugees have entered the country, and none have been arrested for planning terrorist attacks on the United States.

(670 posts)1. What is McCrory thinking!
Trump has actually bragged about going into the girls' locker room during his pageants. I though McCrory opposed boys using the girls' locker room!
