In response to Donald Trump rolling out a more extreme Muslim ban, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison released the following statement: 

“In the wake of a horrific murder of a 6-year-old Muslim child, Donald Trump is doubling down on the same Islamophobic rhetoric that has done nothing but sow chaos and breed violence. Donald Trump is following up last week’s erratic behavior – criticizing Israel and praising their terrorist enemies – by now exploiting fear and anxiety in a shameless attempt to revive his widely rejected, extreme Muslim ban. Trump continues to confirm that his only guiding principle is what serves himself, not the American people or our national security. While President Biden has received resounding praise for his leadership in response to this horrific tragedy, Donald Trump continues to prove how unfit and dangerous he is for office.”
