Why does this come as no surprise?
With the news this past week of two Middle Eastern refugees being arrested on terrorist related charges, a Syrian refugee in California and an Iraqi refugee in Texas, President Barack Obama announced Sunday that a Syrian refugee will join first lady Michelle Obama Tuesday at his final State of the Union Address.
CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller shared the news via Twitter:
WH announces that a Syrian refugee to have a seat in the First Lady's Box for the State of the Union Address Tuesday night.

In addition to the domestic incidents, the world is still reeling from the reports of a New Year’s Eve rape jihad in Germany, where thousands of Middle Eastern refugee men sexually attacked women in Cologne and other German cities.
Instead of trying to ease the concerns of the American people, Obama follows a predictable path of all but shoving these concerns back into their faces.
The reaction on social media suggested most expected no less, with one user noting: “Wow. They just love to stick their fingers in Americans eyes, don’t they? Classless.”
Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:
@markknoller @benshapiro Poorly vetted as most are, wouldn’t surprise find out months from now has terrorist ties. Narrative over substance

@markknoller This is absolutely outrageous! Why are you and the press not condemning this treason 24:7 ?

@markknoller @benshapiro Will it be a relative of the San Bernardino killers or one of the Cologne rapists?
