Link: Associated Press Fact Check: Trump claims on travel ban misleading, wrong

The whole article is good at teasing apart the half-truths of which career politicians are so fond. But here is a highlight. If anyone tries to tell you, "This isn't a Muslim ban there are other Muslim countries that aren't on the list!!!" drop this excerpt on them:

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani recently told Fox News that Trump had asked him to create a plan for a Muslim ban that would meet legal tests. Giuliani said he ultimately made recommendations that focused on security and what countries posed security threats.


You can't get much more obvious than that. Whatever else I may think of him, I deeply appreciate Giuliani's bluntness in that moment.
