Ellmers did just fine fencing with Anderson Cooper. In fact, I would give her the match on points. She is no pushover. She is entitled to her opinion that the Mosque should not be built, and entitled to point out that Etheridge did not take a stand on it, until she ran her commercial. And yes, I think the Mosque should be built, but that is just my opinion. There are arguments to be made on both sides.
It's not an argument for a Congressman to be having. It's a non-issue and when someone express their outrage about it, it reveals their racist/xenophobic tendencies. Really Torie? I thought she got destroyed by Cooper. Maybe if I wiped my memory and had no knowledge of any sort of history, I would say she won.
There are no arguments to be made on both sides. This is an issue about religious freedom and when some national group wants to go against local governmental procedure to try and stop its construction, it's wrong. It's not an issue for Congress to have any say in. Personal opinion does not matter, this is a private establishment that wants to build the cultural center.
You must really hate Etheridge to be playing devil's advocate on this one.
