Michael Steele: Trump’s Language Around a Muslim Ban Is ‘Very Toxic’

RUSH EXCERPT:
STEELE: "I think that’s right. And so from what I’m hearing the extreme vetting position is where this administration would like to be. The language around a Muslim ban is very toxic as they try to build, you know, new inroads and relationships here in Washington and around the country. So I think on the heels of something like this, it gives Donald Trump an opportunity to clarify to your point the position of the administration which the reporters were trying to get to yesterday. It also gives them an opportunity, Joe, to talk about how the global community needs to be better coordinated to avoid the kind of gaps in information gathering and gaps in intelligence gathering that allows them to fall behind what the terrorists are doing. Puts them in a position where the idea of a Muslim ban or extreme vetting is less the target of those who would be opposed to it and focus is more on how do we globally together work to avoid this from happening in the future."
