Donald Trump Won’t Rule Out Database Of Muslims
From there, the numbers drop precipitously, with Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, and Chris Christie all at 3%, Lindsey Graham at 1% along with the now-withdrawn Bobby Jindal, and all remaining candidates garnering 0%.
“Mr. Clarridge has incomplete knowledge of the daily, not weekly briefings, that Dr. Carson receives on important national security matters from former military and state department officials”.
In a YouGov/CBS News poll last month, Trump and Carson were tied with 27% support each among voters in the Hawkeye State. Now, following the Paris attacks, such a view has become accepted wisdom among the Republican presidential candidates – and Mr Trump is once again taking credit.
This was hardly an inappropriate response to Trump’s claim that the United States may have “no choice” but to consider closing centers of Muslim worship suspected of giving succor to radical Islam.
Last week the Washington Post’s Philip Rucker and Robert Costa reported that Republican elites were growing increasingly anxious “bordering on panic” that an outsider like Mr Trump could seriously challenge for their party’s nomination.
Lawmakers voted 242-183 to pass the rule for the legislation, which sets up debate and vote on the bill.
But the language used by Republicans is exceedingly inflammatory.
“You’re probably going to put your children out of the way”, he said. “It doesn’t mean you hate all dogs, but you’re putting your intellect into motion”. When asked about requiring Muslims to register in a database or carry a form of special identification noting their religion, Trump said, “We’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely”.
A new controversy sent Donald Trump’s campaign back to the drawing board after the billionaire businessman suggested a database to keep track of Muslim Americans.
“I was convinced somehow I could stop it”, Cruz said, “and I think that was hurtful to my parents”.
Trump was pressed on the database by NBC Thursday evening.
“A chilly if not frigid reception for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her second quest for the White House”, said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
“We’re not saying the things that he is saying, he calls people stupid”.
None of the candidates mentioned responded to requests for comment on their remarks.
Trump took on the issue of Syrian refugees.
“It’s insanity”, Miller told Foreign Policy, when asked Friday about the tone of Republican rhetoric. “It’s playing on people’s fears, trying to incite fear and hatred. It doesn’t represent the best of Americans”. When the Syrian refugees are going to start pouring into this country, we don’t know if they’re ISIS, we don’t know if it’s a Trojan horse.
Islamophobia in the wake of Paris isn’t limited to USA shores. And that kind of charged imagery is all over the place – witness a weekend Daily Mail cartoon comparing refugees to rats, an analogy that was a chilling cornerstone of Nazi propaganda.
It’s hard not to draw comparisons to similar ones published by the Nazis.
