MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said on “Morning Joe” Friday that former President Donald Trump doesn’t know what the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) or the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is. .
“I don’t think people realize,” McCaskill said. “We always talk about the intelligence community as if it’s some big group of people. I think people think of things like spy movies. The majority of the members of the Intelligence Committee are veterans or active duty military personnel. They are truly hard-working, smart patriots who are trying to keep our country safe. Now, get Donald Trump. It’s weird to me that even if you put a microphone in front of his face and try to get him to answer about this, he doesn’t know what FISA is. I don’t even know. He has no idea.”
She added, “When I was a senator, Republicans used to go to the White House and come back and debate health care. He’s just parroting this. Yes, we need to be careful about intelligence surveillance. We don’t want to violate any rights, but the surest way for our country to be attacked is to actually weaken the intelligence community, and that’s what Donald Trump is trying to do.”
