Jeb: Trump’s ‘Horrific’ Muslim Ban ‘Goes Against American Values’

SCARBOROUGH: “Katty Kay?” [crosstalk]
KAY: “Governor, one of the most striking numbers out of last night’s results here in New Hampshire was that 64 percent of Republican voters support Donald Trump’s ban on Muslims coming in to America. You’ve been critical —“
BUSH: “Yeah.”
KAY: “— of that ban. Are you out of step with where Republican voters are on this issue at the moment?”
BUSH: “Well, if you ask how important that is, I’m sure that it was a pretty low number. Here’s the deal Katty, if I believe what I believe, in this case I think it would be horrific. It goes against American values to call for a ban of innocent Muslims and it makes it impossible to build a coalition to destroy ISIS where it needs to be done, in the caliphate. I’m not going to follow what the polls say. I apologize, but I believe what I believe. This is a horrific idea and it sends this signal of divisiveness at a time when we need to find things that unite us. Our country has fallen apart. And we don’t need presidents, candidates on the left or right that continue to prey on that division. We need someone who can actually be president to create a set of purposes that unite us. And one of those is, we need to protect the homeland from Islamic terrorism and you don’t do that by banning all Muslims.”
