Rep. Moore Joins 'The Michael Knowles Show' to Discuss the Persecution of Christians in Nigeria

Published | Video Starts at 01:54

We had a hearing on this and Jay Paul and everybody else were denying that there's any Christian genocide. They're trying to make it about this farmer herder violence, intercommunal conflict, when it's very clear what's happening. I've been to Nigeria, I went there, we went there in a congressional delegation, investigated this issue because the President asked me to do so. And I can tell you I've seen it with my own eyes. And the investigation that we undertook and the report that we presented to the President makes it very clear what is happening in Nigeria is a Christian genocide. (01:54–02:03)
