Switching the ban criteria to nation of origin doesn't mean that Muslims and others have no basis to believe that the ban's target is Muslims. That's exactly what Trump originally promised and that's what good old loose-lips Giuliani told the press this weekend on FOX News with Jeannine Piro. Rudy said that President Trump intended to execute a Muslim ban and asked Rudy (former Federal prosecutor) for advice about how to do so.
In any case, temporary or permanent, based on religion or nationality..... it's asinine for the administration and supporters of the Executive Order to claim that it's not a ban and that President Trump never said it was. The majority of the public is not blind or stupid. For those of us who didn't hear Trump and company refer to it as such proactively themselves, easily-accessible video/audio disproves their current lie.
I really wish the administration would just focus on tightening up the execution of the ban and quickly outlining the very important entry exceptions that they failed to take into account before launch. The ban affects the lives of many people in the U.S. and across the globe, engaging in an effin' semantics game doesn't successfully deflect from some of the ban's errors/oversights which need to be addressed.
