Clinton blasts Thompson’s Cuban terrorist comment

LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA. (Houston Chronicle) - Taking a swipe at a potential GOP presidential rival, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton criticized Fred Thompson on Saturday for suggesting illegal Cuban immigrants pose a terrorist threat.

“I was appalled when one of the people running for or about to run for the Republican nomination talked about Cuban refugees as potential terrorists,” Clinton told Hispanic elected officials. “Apparently he doesn’t have a lot of experience in Florida or anywhere else, and doesn’t know a lot of Cuban-Americans.”

“If Fred Thompson, with his attitude towards Cuban refugees, becomes president, he’ll be breaking into homes on Easter morning, sending little 6-year-old boys back to Cuba,” Clinton warned. “And anyone who’s a part of something like that does not deserve to be president.”
