IRC emergency communications director Melissa Winkler discussed the failure of the Iraqi refugee crisis to become an issue in the presidential campaign in Off the Bus, a political blog appearing on the Huffington Post. “It’s a huge disappointment that this has not been a larger issue in the campaign to date,” she said. “It’s really been hardly mentioned.”
