Chris Coons: Trump’s Travel Ban Meant To Be a ‘Religiously Discriminatory Muslim Ban’

RUSH EXCERPT:
COONS: "It is entirely possible. After meeting White House council, I believe he relayed that information dutifully and fully and that team of advisers simply decided to act on it. She was clear in her testimony that in looking at the executive order on the travel ban in the context of the campaign season and many public statements made by President Trump and key surrogates, that she believed that courts would not uphold it, that courts would overturn it or block it based on intent. Ultimately that’s been proven true. In several different court cases around the country. And today there was oral argument in the fourth circuit on the second executive order where I suspect they are looking hard the the president’s intent and whether or not as he had promised in the campaign this executive order was meant to be a religiously discriminatory Muslim ban."
