MSNBC Political Analyst Steve Schmidt railed against the Democratic candidates for president Monday for failing to identify the root cause of the violence in Paris — “radical Islamic terrorism.” (RELATED: Hillary: Saying ‘Radical Islam’ Is ‘Not Particularly Helpful’ [VIDEO])

Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday, Schmidt said, “It’s important in the context of the insane debate we saw play out in this country last week that’s going on at Yale University, the University of Missouri, talk of these micro-aggressions and the safe spaces and all of the abject silliness taking place in context of this past week — a Russian airliner blown out of the air, the attacks in Beirut, the rampage in France.” (RELATED: Liberal Activists Upset Paris Terrorist Attacks Are Getting Attention, Not Mizzou Protests)

“[W]e look at the Democratic debate and the failure of some of these candidates in the name of political correctness to name names and say this is what it is, radical Islamic terrorism,” said Schmidt, a Republican.

“And so, multiculturalism, as defined by the left, is providing a profound danger to all of these societies by not naming clearly the enemy that civilization faces.”
