"Although I can't provide a lot of context to that because it's a half thought and everything is not there for me to be able to speak to it, what I can say is that I love my country and I have always love my country and I have always been willing not to blink in the face of difficult discussions," Barnette said.
Barnette placed blame on the Obama administration: "At that particular time, we had the Obama administration bringing in a lot of Syrian refugees."Barnette was asked about a tweet from 2014 which reads, "If you love freedom, Islam must NOT be allowed to thrive under ANY condition."
