Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson is criticizing President Barack Obama for allowing representatives of a Muslim civic group to attend the State of the Union address, saying their actions are "not pro-American."

Democratic lawmakers have invited two members of the Council on American-Islamic Relations to attend Obama's final State of the Union address Tuesday night.

Speaking to CNN Tuesday morning, Carson said he has called for an investigation of the group, accusing them of having "done things that are clearly not pro-American."

"Let's go ahead and investigate the thing," he said. "Let's not be giving them access to the ability to further carry on what they call a civilization jihad, and to change us from a Judeo-Christian foundation to a Muslim foundation. We have got to be smarter than that."

Um, TaliBen, the State of the Union is an address to Congress. There are two Muslim members of Congress, Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Andre Carson (D-IN). So sit on it and rotate.

2. Sarah Hekmati is Congressman Dan Kildee's (Michigan 5th District) guest

Her brother, Amir, a former Marine, has been held unjustly in Iran for the past 4+ years. And I say 'former' Marine knowing full and well that once a Marine, always a Marine.

Amir Mirza Hekmati (born July 28, 1983) is a former United States Marine who was arrested for allegedly spying for the CIA in Iran. On 9 January 2012, he was sentenced to death on account of the charges. On 5 March 2012, the Iranian Supreme Court overturned the death sentence, and ordered a retrial. The judges had found the verdict against Hekmati was "not complete" and referred his case to an affiliate court. According to media reports, Hekmati is still in prison awaiting a retrial.
