Controversy
In February 2017, Duffy made controversial statements in an interview with CNN's Alisyn Camerota while discussing the topic of President Trump's immigration and travel ban, which focused on combating radical Islamist terrorists, saying that

When Camerota, referring to the Quebec City mosque shooting, asked why Trump made no public statement on the white terrorists who perpetrated that act, this exchange ensued:

CAMEROTA: "Why isn’'t the president talking about the white terrorists who mowed down six Muslims praying at their mosque?"

DUFFY: "I don't know. But I would just tell you there's a difference, again, death and murder on both sides is wrong, but if you want to take the dozens of scenarios where ISIS-inspired attacks have taken innocents, and you give me one example of what’s happened, I think that was in Canada, I'm going to condemn them all.

That was a one-off, Alisyn, and you have a movement on the other side."

CAMEROTA: "You don't think there are white extremists? You don't remember Oklahoma City? You don't think this guy who was involved in the mosque shootings said that he was inspired by things that he read online?"

DUFFY: "So you give me two examples, right? And in recent time, we’re going to talk about the one example. And there's radicals all over the world and here in America that will take up arms and do bad things. But if you want to compare this one person in the last ten years that you can give an example of—Oklahoma was, what, 20 years ago, the Oklahoma City bombing—and that's different than the whole movement that has taken place through ISIS, that's inspired attacks. Are you going to compare the one attack up in Canada to all the death and destruction in Europe from refugees..."
