Rep. Peter King is being harshly criticized for his "racially charged comments" about mosques.   Every "progressive" voice has been raised in alarm over these so obviously ridiculous words.   Unfortunately, they are having trouble understanding precisely what it is that King said.

Progressives are extremely smart people.   Don't believe it?   Just ask one!   They do sometimes have great difficulty breaking down sentence syntax because syntax involves following certain rules.   That's too difficult for progressives.   They like simple sentence structure.   But let's look at what King said.

Progressive web sites have published the transcript of King's words as "Unfortunately, we have too many mosques in this country.   There are too many people who are sympathetic to radical Islam.

That is an incorrect version of what he said.   The transcript should have read "Unfortunately, we have too many mosques in this country, too many people who are sympathetic to radical Islam.   In other words, the phrase "who are sympathetic to radical Islam" describes the mosques.   King was saying not that there are too many mosques in this country, but rather, that there are too many mosques in this country that are sympathetic to radical Islam.

The meanings of the two phrases are quite different.   The second version, my version, if you will, is absolutely true.   There are too many mosques in this country which are sympathetic to radical Islam.   We absolutely must infilitrate them.   There is no doubt on this point.   King was right.   To claim otherwise or to manipulate King's words in the fashion the progressives have, is dishonest and dangerous.
