Hardball with Chris Matthews Takes FRC's Jerry Boykin to Task for Remarks about Obama, Muslims and Jews
Last night, Hardball with Chris Matthews reserved a spot on the 鈥渃lown car鈥� for Family Research Council Executive Vice President . The segment centered on of Boykin speaking on a 鈥渉ot mic鈥� at a far-right conference.
Boykin that President Obama supports Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood and sends them subliminal messages of support. In the , which we posted on YouTube, Boykin awkwardly joked with an Israeli reporter that 鈥淛ews are the problem鈥� and the 鈥渃ause of all the problems in the world.鈥�
Boykin is a retired Army Lt. Gen. and served as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence under President George W. Bush. His career was derailed by his anti-Muslim advocacy, culminating in a public rebuke by President Bush and a Pentagon investigation that determined he had violated military rules. In the years since, Boykin has established himself as a leading Muslim-basher and conspiracy theorist.
