‘Isn’t Just Germany’s Problem’: Fmr Trump Adviser Warns Sanctuary Cities Could Face Same Terror Threats As Germany

Former State department senior adviser Christian Whiton warned Friday of potential terror threats that sanctuary cities in the United States could face.

During an appearance on Laura Ingraham’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Whiton discussed the driver who plowed into the crowd at a Christmas Market in Germany. Whiton criticized the German government’s handling of immigration, suggesting a failure in assimilation efforts.

“It is a terror attack, you know. This comes just about a week after Islamists walked through another Christmas market in Germany,” Whiton told Ingraham. “This is Islamist jihadists let into Germany by both center-right and the current left-wing government, an open door immigration policy and here we have a Saudi who’s been in Germany for something like two decades. Assimilation in this case just isn’t working.”

Turning his focus to the United States, Whiton said he’s concerned over the safety of American sanctuary cities. He said that, like Germany, the U.S. faces challenges with its immigration policies, particularly regarding the vetting of refugees and immigrants.

“I’m not sure the German government actually wants it to work, but it’s jihad on the march and, you know, we can say that Germany has an immigration problem. But so do we, every sanctuary city in the United States could face this threat. Thankfully we haven’t so far, but this isn’t just Germany’s problem.

Ingraham brought up the influx of refugees from Afghanistan and criticized the lack of thorough vetting and questioned the presumed roles of these individuals as former interpreters for the U.S. military. In discussing the broader implications of unvetted immigration, Whiton said he was concerned about immigrants’ adherence to political Islam and their potential aspirations for a caliphate.
