Schiff: Trump’s Trying to Meet His Campaign Promise of Banning Muslims

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "What this is truly about is the President trying to meet his campaign promise to ban Muslims and to do it in a way that won’t be struck down in the courts. That’s really as simple as it is. This is not going to improve our security and indeed the same experience in Iraq we’re going to still have with the Muslim world, and that is the world views this as a Muslim ban. They’re not going to want to work with us in the fight against terror if they think that we are prejudiced against an entire faith and that’s the faith that most of the Arab world subscribes to. So, it’s going to be counterproductive. It already is arbitrary, and I think for those reasons, suffers from the same underlying flaws as the original."
