Yep... defend the bullshit fearmongering claim all week, then wait til fri evening news dump to backtrack. Typical.
"Should have chosen wording more carefully"... Dude is high ranking on committees - he knows very well what he was doing. Nobody "accidentally" slips ISIS into the conversation without clearly meaning to do so. And he had many chances to backtrack and correct that, even on FOX that day and later that day when his staff was asked repeatedly and kept defending it.
Rep Hunter is trying to scare people, and use that fear to reach his political goals. When our enemies use fear to make us obey them politically, there's a word for that...
A California Congressman is backtracking on claims he made on national cable television earlier in the week that as many as ten ISIS fighters crossed the border into Texas from Mexico.
NBC 7 asked U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter R-50th District about his statements Friday at an event in El Cjaon.
When he talked about the presence of ISIS fighters on the Texas border Hunter said he should have chosen his wording more carefully. Hunter said he shouldn't have said ISIS.
“I should have said terrorist affiliated military aged males coming across the border,” Hunter said.
