In Attacking Ilhan Omar, Trump Revives His Familiar Refrain Against Muslims

As long as President Trump has focused
on what he said was the danger lurking at the southwestern border, he
has also talked about the supposed threat from one specific group
already in the country: Muslims.During
the 2016 campaign, he would not rule out creating a registry of Muslims
in the United States. He claimed to have seen “thousands” of Muslims
cheering on rooftops in New Jersey after Sept. 11, a statement that was
widely debunked. After deadly attacks in Paris and California, Mr. Trump
called for a moratorium on Muslims traveling to the United States.
