MEGYN KELLY (HOST): Was it a mistake to allow, to have a couple of Democrats show up with representatives of CAIR at the State of the Union tonight?

KELLY: There's a lot of great Muslim-Americans that could go that are not affiliated with a group that's been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror trial.
