Fox News host Jeanine Pirro asked Giuliani whether the ban had anything to do with religion.“How did the president decide the seven countries?” she asked. “Okay, talk to me.”

“I'll tell you the whole history of it,” Giuliani responded eagerly. “So when [Trump] first announced it, he said, 'Muslim ban.' He called me up. He said, 'Put a commission together. Show me the right way to do it legally.' "

Giuliani said he assembled a “whole group of other very expert lawyers on this,” including former U.S. attorney general Michael Mukasey, Rep. Mike McCaul (R-Tex.) and Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.).
“And what we did was, we focused on, instead of religion, danger — the areas of the world that create danger for us,” Giuliani told Pirro. “Which is a factual basis, not a religious basis. Perfectly legal, perfectly sensible. And that's what the ban is based on. It's not based on religion. It's based on places where there are substantial evidence that people are sending terrorists into our country.”

Damage control time.
 
It's looks more like Guilliani is bragging and taking credit for the ban rather than trying to control the damage that he apparently helped to create.
 
It is a good illustration of why he was not SS material.

Not seeing your point. President Trump publicly proclaimed he was calling for a Muslim ban back in December 2015. Is it a shock to you this is happening? But what Guiliani clearly states was that this ban wasn't about religion, but rather safety. I think he's full of garbage and lying (for many reasons), but I just don't see your point here. No beans were spilled.
 
Danger? Safety concerns my ass. Since Saudi Arabia is NOT on the list this is just more lies from another liar who's in Trump's Admin/Inner Circle.

Do you know anything about how Trump works?

He is not going to turn into goo.

He is a very big boy.

That sums him up to a tee. He has the maturity of a boy.

Maybe on your side of the aisle. Did you even read what he said?

Last I checked, McCain and Lindsey are on your side of the aisle.

They are doing a poor job if that is the case.

Ha!
It seemed like were underselling Rudy for a minute there... but then I realized you meant something completely different from what I thought you meant when you wrote "SS".*






*He would indeed have made a great officer in the Schutzstaffel.

You may want to check the comments of GOP senators Alexander and Corker, since I know you respect them, as to trump losing his own Congress, as well as state governors and legislators now feeling the heat .

No, I meant the countries sending us terrorists. They haven't done a good job sending us terrorists.

The problem is that he ignored the worst offenders, starting with Saudi Arabia. So, I see a very clumsy attempt to do his promised Muslim ban (spin/change the words anyway you like, they are beside my point) while being forced by realpolitik to ignore the gorillas in the room.

It's the "shoot from the hip" that bothers me here. Personally, I would support vetting the hell out of anyone from those countries plus Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Just do it in a thoughtful way. There are many, many ramifications to businesses and people here in the USA.

Where's your evidence? He's trying to stop terrorists before they enter. Afterward it's too late.
