The 鈥檚 executive vice president, Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin (retired), was caught on a 鈥渉ot mic鈥� following a panel yesterday at the , which was held just down the street from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Boykin could be heard, in an awkward attempt at humor, telling a reporter from Israel that 鈥淛ews are the problem鈥� and the 鈥渃ause of all the problems in the world.鈥� Boykin told another reporter that President Obama identifies with and supports Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood and uses subliminal messages to express this support.

Boykin appeared on a panel yesterday 鈥� 鈥淏enghazigate: The Ugly Truth and the Cover-up鈥� 鈥� as part of the summit held near Washington, DC, which was organized by to highlight speakers, like himself, who were not invited to speak at CPAC. Gaffney has alienated himself by repeatedly claiming that the American Conservative Union, which organizes CPAC, has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Boykin, who is FRC鈥檚 second in command after , fits right in at such a gathering.

After the Benghazi panel came to a close, the video feed for the live webcast went dark but audio continued to be broadcast. Boykin could be heard speaking with two reporters. His first conversation concerned Obama鈥檚 supposed support for Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Boykin said that Obama鈥檚 鈥渇irst real public appearance overseas was in Cairo,鈥� and dubbed that the 鈥渘otorious apology tour.鈥� 鈥淚f you understand anything about Islam,鈥� he continued, 鈥渢here are subliminal messages.鈥� Obama鈥檚 message to them is 鈥淚 understand you and I support you.鈥�

Boykin argued that 鈥淎l Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and everybody else鈥� are taking advantage of this support and the 鈥渙pportunity that they see that they have a president that identifies with them, that has been supportive of them inside the United States and is unwilling to go against them.鈥�

Boykin could be heard recommending that the reporter contact FRC鈥檚 head of media relations, J.P. Duffy. He wrapped up that conversation and was approached by Henry Schwartz from , a right-wing Israeli news site run by .

A person, perhaps a PR flack, started to ask Boykin, 鈥淲ould you mind doing a two minute interview with Israel, Israel National News?鈥� (sic). Boykin cut in with 鈥渢he Jews are the problem, the Jews are the cause of all the problems in the world.鈥� The same person, or perhaps Schwartz, could be heard laughing and said 鈥淚 know, I know, that鈥檚 why we鈥檙e trying to fix everything.鈥� :

Boykin has a of making odd and outlandish comments about Jews, Muslims, Obama and much more. Boykin has said that Jews must be converted to Christianity and believes that American Jews don鈥檛 understand Hitler and support Democrats as a result. He has also that Obama is using the Affordable Care Act to create a Hitler-style Brownshirt army to force Marxism on America.

Boykin is best known for his animus against Muslims. He has that the First Amendment does not apply to Islam. He has that Christians must go on offense against Islam, there should be no more mosques built in America and there can be no interfaith dialogue between Christians and Muslims. Not surprisingly, Boykin鈥檚 military career was by his anti-Muslim advocacy, earning him a rebuke from President George W. Bush and a that found he had violated military rules.

Yesterday鈥檚 hot mic audio demonstrates, yet again, that Boykin鈥檚 outrageous comments over the years were not misstatements. He honestly believes this stuff. Now consider the fact that he as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and is still viewed as a credible expert on terrorism by Republican members of the House Armed Services Committee. No matter your politics, Boykin has no place in a reality-based foreign policy.
