Madeline Albright rails against the travel ban: Trump officials need to ‘actually read the Constitution’

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is not happy about President Donald Trump’s latest executive order to ban certain immigrants and refugees from coming into the United States.

In an interview with Chris Cuomo Tuesday, the Bill Clinton appointee blasted the ban and those who helped write the order. “It would be helpful if the people at the top of our government actually read the Constitution,” she said.

Albright explained that the “unprepared plan” will not make America safer, rather it is dangerous to Americans.

“It has actually created more danger,” she said. “Because there are countries that are now, in fact, not able to cooperate with us in terms of intelligence sharing or generally mistrust, and there’s going to be tit for tat, where we have troops in Iraq and we have to worry how they are going to be treated.”
