VIDEO: Morgan Carroll refuses to oppose bringing GITMO terrorists to Colorado
With President Barack Obama threatening to veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) over bipartisan opposition to his plan to close GITMO and bring terrorists onto U.S. soil, will Morgan Carroll fight for military families by calling on the president to stand down? President Obama has made it clear that he is willing to endanger necessary funding for our troops in order to fulfill his campaign promise of shuttering the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and transferring known terrorists to prisons in the United States. The administration even had officials in Colorado last week inspecting facilities for possible relocation of GITMO terrorists.
As luck would have it, we actually ran into Morgan Carroll today and asked her if she opposed bringing terrorists to CO. Her answer? Silence.
Later today, Speaker John Boehner will formally sign the bipartisan NDAA, which passed the House and Senate earlier this month. Will Carroll continue to stay silent about Obama’s veto threat of a vital defense bill that passed with bipartisan support, or will she fight to ensure that the men and women of our military and their families receive the funding they have rightfully earned?
“Morgan Carroll has chosen to remain on the sidelines while the President pulls out all the stops to bring known terrorists onto U.S. soil, even at the risk of endangering essential funding for our troops. Carroll should break her silence and call on the President to abandon his dangerous veto threat, fund our troops, and keep terrorists where they belong: off U.S. soil and out of Colorado.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
