So Rep. Paul Labrador (R-ID) was on Wolf Blitzer a few minutes ago, and as he was being questioned by Wolf about the legality and intent of Trump's Muslim ban (I refuse to call it by the Trumpian Orwellian euphemisms), Wolf asked Labrador whether or not American Muslims should be worried about the ban. Labrador replied emphatically that yes, they SHOULD be worried!
This comment followed a painfully awkward long-winded rationale by Labrador. He flopped around, trying to argue that this wasn't a Muslim ban and that the whole thing is totally legal and acceptable. Then Wolf showed him the clips of Trump and Guiliani talking about their "total ban on Muslims," and Wolf noted the many protestors and protests over the weekend (and now Trump's Wisconsin trip to the Harley Davidson plant has been cancelled).
Then Labrador decided he should declare that American Muslims should be worried about the ban even though he had spent a few minutes arguing very half-heartedly that it wasn't a Muslim ban. That bit of mean-spirited honesty reveals exactly what this is about despite Trump's minions and their desperate attempts to justify and to distract.
Seriously, the insanity grows by the minute.
