Bernie Kerik slams ABC debate moderators for not asking any questions on terrorism

"We have hundreds that have come in on the watch list, and we have a couple 100,000 that I would consider that have come in from target rich environments like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kenya," Kerik said.

Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik slammed the ABC News debate moderators for not asking either presidential candidate about terrorism. 

"Not one of the two moderators brought it up," Kerik said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "And I think that's because it all goes back to open borders. It all goes back to the failures of Harris to secure the border, so they didn't want to go near it."

The second presidential debate occurred on Tuesday between GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. 

Both candidates faced off on ABC News in a 90-minute debate that saw Harris land several hits on the former president, who often rambled in his responses and quarreled, not just with Harris, but with moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis.

"We have hundreds that have come in on the watch list, and we have a couple hundred thousand, that I would consider, that have come in from target rich environments like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kenya," Kerik said. 

Republicans have been very critical of the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies.
