Exclusive — Allen West: This is a Time of Danger and Division

Bloomberg: Don’t Judge Immigrants by Charlie Hebdo Massacre; 9/11 Terrorists Were Just ‘Visitors’

An op-ed by the editors of Bloomberg equates “anti-immigration nativists” with the Islamic terrorists who slaughtered the staff of Charlie Hebdo Magazine Wednesday.
