enemy. they see themselves in effect as heirs to the founders. that means that the present government of the united states is the heir to king george. so washington is the foreign tyrant. and fran townsend, as someone who has seen the intelligence on these groups over the years as they rise, and bart s reporting indicates they ve risen quite a bit in a year or so. what is it from a washington government perspective that scares you about them? we first saw this beginning rise that bart really describes well going back to the immigration reform debate. during the bush administration we saw militias pop up along the southwest border. they didn t believe their government was doing enough. at that point the aim was to help their government. in 2007 when i was still at the white house, saw hate groups, supremacist groups begin targeting. that s why when i was still there we went to then senator obama and encourage him to take secret service protection
incredible fallout from a hearing that turned the u.s. congress into comedy central hi everybody, i m megyn kelly, we have breaking developments right here on america live . we are hearing some sharp commentary now from some republican lawmakers, after comedian stephen colbert made a mockery of the immigration reform debate on capitol hill. he was invited to testify in character about his one-day experience as a farm hand. and it indeed became a circus, right out of the gate. i would like to recommend that now that we got all of this attention, that you excuse yourself and that you let us get on with the three
