Donald Trump's Muslim ban is actually about Ted Cruz

Sure enough, Monday night’s conversation was entirely dominated by Trump, not the Cruz campaign’s success in Iowa. But Trump didn’t just steal the Texas senator’s headlines — he unwittingly highlighted his refusal to take a stand against even the most blatantly un-American sentiments…

While campaigning in South Carolina on Monday night, Cruz was asked if he supports banning Muslims from entering the U.S. “No, that is not my policy,” he said. “I believe the focus should focus on radical Islamic terrorism. And we need to be directly focused on threats to the United States. We need a commander-in-chief that perceives what the threat is and then targets all of our resources to protecting this nation against radical Islamic terrorists.”

When asked if he’s concerned about the rhetoric some Republicans are using against Muslim Americans, Cruz still refused to go after the man working to counteract his Iowa momentum. “I don’t believe most Americans are using language against Muslim Americans,” Cruz said. “We’re using language against radical Islamic terrorists.”
