It was said no worse than the detention of japanese immigrants in world war ii. Joining us now. Some of the harshest criticism for donald trump came from his fellows candidates. Yes. The fact that leading republicans from all sections of the party came out loudest and longest today to reject trumps comments donald trump is calling for a total and complete shut down of muslims entering the United States until our countrys representatives can figure out what is going on.
