The co-chair of the “Great America PAC for Donald Trump” found himself in hot water with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Wednesday night when a conversation on Muslim immigration turned to America’s history with internment camps.
Former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie appeared on “The Kelly File” to discuss ways President-elect Trump might deal with Muslim immigrants from “higher risk” nations. At issue was an interview that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach recently gave with Reuters, which mentioned “extreme vetting.” Mr. Higbie said the precedent of “keeping tabs” on immigrants was set with Iranians and during World War II with Japanese-Americans.
“They say it will hold constitutional muster,” Mr. Higbie said, Mediaite reported Wednesday night. “I know the ACLU is going to challenge it, but I think it will pass. We did it with Iran back awhile ago, we did it during World War II with Japanese, which — call it what you will — may be wrong.”
“Come on, you’re not proposing we go back to the days of internment camps, I hope,” the Fox host replied.
