Franken says Trump made scapegoating refugees a centerpiece of his campaign even though some of his aides tried to walk back Trump’s proposed Muslim ban. Except Sessions, who called it a “valid” discussion to be having. Franken says that a Minn. school asked him to come speak to a school with a lot of Muslim students and reassure the kids because they were so fearful of the Trump campaign’s pronouncements. Franken drawing distinction between Europe where they don’t assimilate immigrants and the U.S. where we do. Those kids are Americans, says Franken. That’s it, no question. Just a reminder to Sessions that many Muslims are in fact Americans—similar to his previous reminder to Sessions that women exist. So reassuring that a man who will likely serve as AG needs to be reminded that there’s more than white men in the world and, yes, many of them are citizens and entitled to constitutional protections. Newsflash.
