FILE - In this June 3, 2013, file photo, Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, R-Las Vegas, works in committee during the final day of the 77th Legislative session at the Legislative Building in Carson City, Nev. Taxation Committee Chairwoman Michele Fiore broke her weeklong silence about dozens of tax liens filed against her and her companies, saying an unnamed employee who stole from her and systematically deceived her accountant was at the root of the problem. Fiore, a sophomore Republican lawmaker and Assembly majority leader, told conservative radio host Alan Stock on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2014, that she has addressed the issue. She also argued that her experience working with the IRS though the resolution process is a reason she should retain her leadership on the tax committee. (AP Photo/Cathleen Allison, File) MORE LESS

Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R) last month dismissed a statement from Nevada Republicans calling for the state to bar refugees from Syria, and said that she is prepared to travel to Paris to shoot Syrian refugees herself.

During her weekly show on Las Vegas radio station KWDN, Fiore discussed why she did not sign onto the statement from Republican members of the state assembly opposing resettling Syrian refugees in Nevada. Fiore recounted a conversation with Nevada GOP political consultant Chuck Muth, who asked her why she didn’t sign onto the statement.

“What–are you kidding me? I’m about to fly to Paris and shoot ‘em in the head myself!” Fiore said she told Muth when asked why she didn’t join the statement on Syrian refugees.

“I am not OK with Syrian refugees. I’m not OK with terrorists. I’m OK with putting them down, blacking them out, just put a piece of brass in their ocular cavity and end their miserable life. I’m good with that,” she continued.

Fiore added that the Republican caucus never asked her to sign on to their letter.

She made the comments during her November 21 radio show, which was surfaced by The Daily Mail on Sunday.

Fiore made headlines last week with a Christmas card featuring each member of her family holding a firearm.

    When she’s winging her way to France, do we have to let her back in?

    And how much do you wanna bet that she’s also big on claiming her “Christian” values? Yep … just what Jesus would do.
