Last night’s Republican debate produced some of the most
heated moments of the 2016 Presidential race to date. The debate among the
Republican frontrunners had the candidates in a verbal sparing match after a
moderator asked the question: “What would you do to keep America safe from
terrorism.” Former neurosurgeon Ben Carson answered first.
“At this very moment, I have a team of engineers working on
what I call “TerrorScan,” a walk-through scanning device much like the ones
used at airports, except this machine will detect terrorists. As President, I
will make sure that every Muslim who comes to our shores will have to pass
through the “TerrorScan.”
Ted Cruz spoke next.
“That’s a ridiculous idea, Ben. As your next President, l
will only allow Muslims into America if they denounce Islam and convert to
Christianity. Islam is a religion that breeds violence, totally unlike
Christianity, which is a religion of peace. I will create a Christianity test all
Muslims will need to take and pass in order to enter this country.”
Carly Fiorina responded.
“I will deny entry to any Muslim. If you haven’t seen the
video of terrorists beheading nuns and wiping their rear ends with pages from
the Bible, I urge you to watch it. It is horrifying and I don’t want those
things to go on in my America. No more Muslims.”
But the loudest roar of approval from the audience came
after Donald Trump’s unusually brief statement.
“How would I keep America safe from terrorists? I tell you,
I would do anything to keep this country safe. This is serious business. If you
came up to me and said, “Donald, the only thing that will keep America safe is
if you eat a baby alive, then I would do it. I make that promise to you here
and now. I would do it.”
After the debate, some pundits worried that Trump might lose
the “mother vote,” but Trump’s campaign clarified his comment, saying that
Donald would only eat an orphan baby.
