Giuliani says he’s source of Trump’s shift on Muslim ban

Source: NJ.com

TRENTON -- Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani says he is the reason Donald Trump walked back his call to ban all Muslims from entering U.S. last month to instead focus on people from "terror countries."

In mid-May, Trump floated the idea of creating a "commission... perhaps headed by Rudy Giuliani," to examine the threat of terrorism caused by foreign nationals entering the U.S. during an interview on Fox News. As it turns out, it wasn't just pie-in-the-sky.

"He said he was going to ask me to put together a small group of people, and we've done that," said Giuliani, in an interview with NJ Advance Media on Friday afternoon.

Giuliani, who was once the Associate Attorney General under President Reagan, now runs Giuliani Security & Safety, a global security and investigative consultancy. The former mayor said that soon after Trump raised the idea, he began advising the Trump campaign on immigration and security.

This was after he married (and got an annulled) his cousin.

Yeah, they'll bring dignity to the White House, right?

The San Bernardino shooter was born in the United States
The Orlando shooter was born in the United States
The Sandy Hook shooter was born in the United States
The Dallas shooter was born in the United States and trained by the US Army!
The Fort Hood shooter was born in the United States and trained by the US Army!
The Oklahoma City bomber was an Irish Catholic born in the Buffalo NY area and trained by the US Army!

So, pinheads, what good would your "ban all Muslims" policy have done to prevent those, and many other, mass murders?

besides even if Donnie Do turns 180 degrees from his previous positions those videos from the primaries ain't going away.

Hey, Rudi - which Trumpy do you think people will believe is real and which one is just making false promises? I am guessing most will believe Donny of the primaries.
