Calls for “Internment Camps” Growing Among Trump Supporters

incarceration camp in Hawaii2This past weekend’s terrorist attacks in London has increased the call for Muslim internment camps.

Conservative talk show host Michael Savage is among the latest to advocate a return to incarceration camps which imprisoned 120,000 during World War II, reported the New York Daily News.

“Why don’t you intern all of them before they run people over on a bridge, or stab people in the street? It was done during World War II,” he said earlier this week.

Others who agree with him include Irish model Vogue Williams who wrote an op-ed piece for the Sunday World and the British editor in chief for Breitbart, an alt right publication once lead by White House adviser Steve Bannon.

All this follows Katie Hopkins, a former Apprentice contestant, who made the call on Fox and Friends Sunday, according to the Independent.

“We do need internment camps,” she said. “Before, I would’ve bought the idea that, no, this gets more people radicalized. You know, that’s not the solution. But we’ve gone beyond the tipping point. I tell you this country cannot take another attack.”

Earlier in the program, Nigel Farage said pretty much the same thing.

“I’m concerned that if we do intern 3,500 people we might create more martyrs within that community. We did this with suspected IRA terrorists in Northern Ireland 30 years ago and it led to more recruits in the IRA. I’m not sure that is the right route myself.”
 
Fox News issued an apology and said it did not support the position of Hopkins or Farage.
