Muslim Congressman Sobs During Radicalization Hearings

This is probably not the "YouTube moment" that IRA Rep. Peter King wanted for his big Islamic radicalization hearings today. It's Rep. Keith Ellison, a Muslim, breaking down while telling the story about a Muslim first responder who gave his life on 9/11. King, meanwhile, started his day by revealing that he's been under police protection for months because of an "overseas threat against him."

These hearings will not be very productive.
