“They absolutely did anything they could to stop me from coming here,” said Tancredo. “They hated the idea. That’s been the way they’ve done this for the last five years. Grover Norquist, they would rather have. That guy should be in jail.”

Tancredo explained that Paul Sperry’s book, Infilitration, about the influence of “Muslim spies” in Washington, is very damaging to Norquist. “How Grover Norquist has escaped indictment I will never know. If half of the stuff is true, and I believe it’s all true, he’s a dangerous guy. But they tout him here, especially on immigration.”
