Graham, O'Malley talk about hitting ISIS @ NH college

'O’Malley said Republicans taking a hard line against Syrian refugees helps terrorists.

“Some are playing right into the hands of ISIS by turning us upon our Muslim-American neighbors solely because of their religion,” he said.

O’Malley said GOP candidates, including Ben Carson and Donald Trump, who have been resistant to accepting refugees in the aftermath of the Paris terror attacks, are further stigmatizing victims. And he suggested a struggling U.S. military strategy in Syria was not to blame for the attacks.

“The Paris attacks were far more likely to have been stopped by better Homeland Security actions in Brussels and Paris than by more firepower in Syria and Iraq,” he said.
