A spokesman for the Trump transition team has claimed that Donald Trump “never advocated” for a registry tracking individuals based on their religion, despite video evidence showing Trump doing exactly that. Unfortunately for Miller, his statement is directly contradicted by this video of Trump at a campaign event in Newton, Iowa, in November 2015. Trump was then asked by NBC News what the difference was between a Muslim registry and the registration of Jews by Nazis in Germany. Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state and an anti-immigration hardliner advising Trump’s transition team, said earlier this week that the president-elect’s policy advisers were considering instating a Muslim immigrant registry. To be clear: Donald Trump’s campaign promise to create a registry of Muslims is unconstitutional and un-American.”
