Adam Kinzinger: Trump ‘Has the Right To Do a Travel Ban as the Chief Executive’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
SCIUTTO: "We’re back with Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger. He serves on the the foreign affairs committee, also fought in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Congressman Kinzinger, I want to turn to the war on terror in response to attack today in Egypt. President Trump tweeted the following, quote, we have to get tougher and smarter than ever before we and will need the wall, need the ban. Egypt, of course, a key U.S. Ally, but Egypt not on the current list of president Trump’s travel ban for Muslim majority countries. Do you see the — an attack like this in Egypt as justification for the wall or the travel ban? Are they connected?"
KINZINGER: "You know, I think the president, as I’ve always said, has the right to do a travel ban as the chief executive. I think this is part of the commander in chief thing. I think there are a difference between Egypt and some of the other countries on the travel ban. The president pulled Iraq off. Egypt is a beautiful country. I was just there probably a year ago now, there are issues in the sinai, and that’s where a lot of this ISIS and terrorist issues are. That’s where today’s attack is. Egypt itself is an amaze, beautiful country and everybody should go visit it. So in terms of whether or not, you know, the president, the wall and everything else is justified, I support the president in border security, whether it’s a wall or whether it’s a, you know, virtual wall, technical law. I think it’s important to protect ourselves. At the same time, we can’t disengage from the world. It’s important to understand we have a unique position in the world and the only way to defeat terrorism is not through missiles and bombs alone. It’s an understanding that the 7 and 8-year-olds today are the ones that could be the terrorists tomorrow."
