TYT: Trump Spokesperson: So What. They’re Muslim.



A spokesperson for the Donald Trump campaign recently defended the candidate’s position on banning muslim immigrants. Poorly. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"While defending Donald Trump's proposed ban on Muslims visiting the United States during a debate with CNN's S.E. Cupp, Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson dismissed Cupp's assertion that a ban on all Muslims goes too far.

Pierson told CNN that Trump's plan is "nothing new" because U.S. law already prevents individuals from nations hostile to the U.S. from entering the country. Cupp disagreed.

"There really is something new to the idea of banning an entire religious group from entering the country," Cupp said in response. "Peddling this unconservative, un-American, unconstitutional garbage has got to stop.””*

1. Er, Ms Pierson, where is the nation of Muslim located? I always thought Muslim is a religion.

And how, pray tell, do you determine if someone entering the country is Muslim? Do you ask them a straight yes or no question? How does that work?

Cripe, the ignorance in this country is embarrassing. Thank you RW talk shows, Faux Snooze and the rest of you lazy-ass mainstream news media. Not only does this country have a sizable population of ignoramuses, they proudly display that ignorance on national media and wear it like a badge of honor.

That qualified her to work for Ted Cruz until an "impressed" Trump hired her away. She's really qualified to be a spokesperson for a major presidential candidate, all right. Makes you wonder if those who think Trump is running an elaborate joke of a scam here might be right.

It IS "conservative" though.

Daesh is also "conservative".
