Scarborough Pushes Back on Ellison’s Claim that Trump Exec. Order Is a Muslim Ban
Posted By Emily Ferguson On January 30, 2017 @ 11:37 am In Issues | No Comments
Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) appeared Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to discuss President Trump's executive order that bars Syrian refugees from entering the United States.
The order also places a four-month suspension on the country's broader refugee program and forbids refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East and Africa from coming to the U.S.
"Would you call it a Muslim ban?" co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Ellison.
"It's absolutely a Muslim ban," Ellison replied. "And more seriously it's a religiously based ban, which means they can pick on Muslims today, but who are they going to pick on tomorrow?"
