Rep. King blasts critics, defends hearing on homegrown terror – The Hill
The incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee lambasted The New York Times on Tuesday while defending his planned hearings on the radicalization of Muslims living in the U.S.
Two days after the Times questioned his leadership in an editorial, Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) fired back in an interview with The Hill. He defended his oversight agenda, including a scheduled hearing on homegrown terrorism.
