Obama’s comment about how Republicans are scared of “widows and orphans” while talking tough about fighting ISIS was pretty rich, considering how pussified his administration is. And Trey Gowdy just delivered one epic response.

The president says we are scared of widows and orphans,” Gowdy, the chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, said Thursday at a hearing on the Syrian refugees. “With all due respect to him, what I’m really afraid of is a foreign policy that creates more widows and orphans.”

“So maybe where he ought to start is a foreign policy in the Middle East and Syria where people can go back to their homelands, which is their preference,” Gowdy continued. “Maybe you ought to defeat that JV team you thought you had contained. That would be the very best thing you could do to help people aspire to a better life.”

In the Philippines this week, Obama said that some politicians seem to be inconsistent when they talk tough about the Islamic State or Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“By the way, these are the same folks oftentimes who suggest that they’re so tough that just talking to Putin or staring down ISIL, or using some additional rhetoric somehow is going to solve the problems out there, but apparently, they’re scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America as part of our tradition of compassion,” Obama said. “First, they were worried about the press being too tough on them during debates. Now they’re worried about three-year-old orphans.”

Obama should maybe point that finger back at himself, considering that it’s his fault that ISIS even exists. And on top of that, he’s allowed them to flourish and grow stronger — so yeah, people have every reason to be afraid of the refugees, among whom ISIS has admitted to hiding jihadis.
