Morgan Carroll’s Gitmo gaffe

Despite a recent report that the White House is considering transferring dangerous Gitmo detainees to Colorado, Morgan Carroll refuses to call on the Obama Administration to take Colorado off the list of sites for consideration.

When asked by the Colorado Independent for her position, Carrol refused to stand up against the Obama Administration’s plan, saying only, “Obviously, nobody wants convicted terrorists moving into Colorado — or anywhere else for that matter.”

The Independent noted that Carroll avoided addressing “whether the facility should be shut down, what should happen to the detainees, or whether all people held in the facility are indeed “terrorists.”  Weak sauce.

With such a weak and flippant answer on such a serious issue, Morgan Carroll showed she is not ready to be a member of Congress. Bringing terrorists onto American soil and into Colorado is serious business and brushing off the very real concerns many have is insulting to voters. Luckily for 6^th District families, Congressman Mike Coffman, a Marine combat veteran, is a vocal opponent of the proposal and fighting to keep terrorists out of Colorado.

“Morgan Carroll’s refusal to stand up to the Obama Administration’s reckless proposal of bringing terrorists onto American soil and into Colorado shows she is clearly not ready to make the tough calls required of a member of Congress. Luckily for 6^th District voters, Congressman Mike Coffman, a Marine combat veteran, is fighting to keep terrorists where they belong: off U.S. soil and out of Colorado.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
