Trump asked for a Muslim ban, Giuliani says and ordered a commission to do it legally

Source: Washington Post

Former New York mayor Rudy W. Giuliani said President Trump wanted a Muslim ban and requested he assemble a commission to show him the right way to do it legally.

Giuliani, an early Trump supporter who once had been rumored for a Cabinet position in the new administration, appeared on Fox News late Saturday night to describe how Trump's executive order temporarily banning refugees came together.

Trump signed orders on Friday not only to suspend admission of all refugees into the United States for 120 days but also to implement new vetting measures to screen out radical Islamic terrorists. Refugee entry from Syria, however, would be suspended indefinitely, and all travel from Syria and six other nations Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen is suspended for 90 days. Trump also said he would give priority to Christian refugees over those of other religions, according to the Christian Broadcasting Network.

The problem is the his Chief of Staff, Prince Peeniebrains, said on NBC today that this WAS NOT a Muslim ban. Lies and lies and lies, out of that entire administration. And motormouth Rudi goes off. I hope this gains traction....

Hopefully, the courts will listen to this and rule accordingly. Trump doesn't have the authority to ban Muslims, but he does have the authority if the ban is for security. Between the clause to give priority to Christians and this I think the courts will rule against Trump.
