Holder: Reason for Trump’s Travel Ban Something ‘That I Find Pretty Disturbing’

‘I think this was something that is more politically driven than driven by a concern about the national security’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
TAPPER: "I want to ask you about the federal court judge that has just blocked the third version of President Trump’s travel ban, calling it discriminatory. Some legal analysts think that this version, 3.0, because it includes some non-muslim majority countries, Venezuela and North Korea, might actually pass constitutional muster. What do you think? Is it discriminatory on its face?"
HOLDER: "You know, I have not really examined the new version of this, but the, you know, the reason for it is something that I find pretty disturbing. I think this was something that is more politically driven than driven by a concern about the national security, and if one looks at, you know, the initial iteration of this and the need to have it in place quickly, that was months ago and it’s hard for me to understand why there is this, you know, continuing — there’s this continuing need."
