In the face of continued criticism, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Wednesday doubled down on his call for authorities to monitor Muslims living in the United States.
Cruz touched off a political firestorm Tuesday with his call to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods” in the wake of the deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels, for which the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has claimed responsibility.
Cruz took to “CBS This Morning” Wednesday to point to isolated neighborhoods in Belgium that “become incubators for radical, Islamic terrorism,” saying “of course” the same exists in the United States.
“Name one community, one city where we have a large group of radicalized Muslims,” host Norah O’Donnell responded.
“You have communities, for example, in Minnesota, you have communities in Michigan with heavy concentration” of Muslims, Cruz said, mentioning “radical imams preaching jihadism, preaching Islamism.”
