Hamas-Linked Group Attends State of the Union; Carson Calls for Probe
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is calling for an investigation into the Muslim civic group that attended the State of the Union address.
Carson criticized the president for allowing members of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to attend, Tuesday.
In an interview with CNN, Carson accused CAIR of having done things that are "clearly not pro-American."
"Let's go ahead and investigate the thing," he said. "Let's not be giving them access to the ability to further carry on what they call a civilization jihad, and to change us from a Judeo-Christian foundation to a Muslim foundation. We have got to be smarter than that."
In 2009, a federal judge ruled that "ample evidence" exists linking CAIR to the terror group Hamas.
In September the Muslim group called for Carson to drop out of the presidential race, saying he was "unfit to lead" after he made comments that he does not believe any Muslim should be president.
