TYT: Republicans React To Trump’s Muslim Ban Idea



Donald Trump’s plan to ban muslims from entering the country has crossed a line that most of the Republican establishment won’t. They’re almost universal in criticizing him. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Today, Donald Trump advocated a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” The proposal has its roots in the radical fringe of anti-Muslim activists in America. Trump’s campaign made clear it would apply to tourists, refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants — and even Muslim-Americans who are currently abroad.

Several of his competitors for the Republican nomination quickly condemned Trump’s proposal. Even Jeb Bush, who advocated a religious test to ban Syrian refugees who are Muslim, blasted the proposal.
But other candidates reactions were much more muted. Rand Paul’s response to Trump’s comments does not condemn Trump’s proposal or even mention it. Instead, he touted his own plan to keep Muslims out of America.”*
