Center for American Progress (CAP) President Neera Tanden joined CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday morning as part of the panel and encouraged President Obama to use part of his Oval Office speech later in the day to denounce Republicans for their “continual language....to target Muslims” which she argued the GOP’s so-called Islamophobia “is exactly what ISIS wants.”

Prior to that suggestion, she agreed with fellow panelists S.E. Cupp, Ken Cuccinelli, and Van Jones “that the country is scared” after terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino “and it’s time for the President to really address our concerns and address it directly to the American people.”
