Conservative pundit Erick Erickson — who most recently was in the news for shooting an editorial on the front page of The New York Times calling for gun control — co-opted the 74th anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor for his xenophobia.

Erickson tweeted on Monday morning:

Erickson and his family moved to Dubai, United Arab Emirates when he was five and spent most of his childhood there.
