In a combative exchange that aired on the Tuesday edition of ABC’s World News Tonight, chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl hinted to Republican Senator Ted Cruz (Tex.) that he was “un-American” for suggesting that only Syrian refugees who are Christian should be admitted the United States while a moratorium would be placed on those that are Muslim.
 
Karl spoke with Cruz on Capitol Hill and first asked him bluntly how he would go about addressing the refugee crisis if he were president: “So, what do you do? Do you ask are you a Christian or a Muslim and then you — I mean, how do you do that?”
