Democrats took the first step to repeal President Trumps expanding travel bans Wednesday at a House Judiciary Committee session that devolved into a debate on whether the restrictions amount to a Muslim ban and whether its OK to call Trump occasionally honest.
In a sometimes-testy committee markup, Democrats passed the No Ban Act to repeal Trumps bans that apply to foreign nationals from seven countries with an additional six countries on deck later this month.
While the measure is unlikely to advance in the GOP-controlled Senate, Democrats panned the restrictions as a cruel Muslim ban that has torn thousands of families apart needlessly, while Republicans blasted the repeal as Democrats latest attempt to undercut Trump.
This has nothing to do with religion. This has to do with securing our country, said Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., taking on Democrats for calling it a Muslim ban. ...If it really was, as you call it, a Muslim ban, why wouldnt Indonesia be on this ban? I mean they have a lot of Muslims. This is just inaccurate. You are just spreading this falsity.
But Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said you have to look no further than Trumps intentions when, during his 2016 campaign, he called for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States."
How do we know [it's a Muslim ban]? We know because the president, who is occasionally honest, told us so! Nadler said.

I totally agree and we have two female congress critters in the House that prove it.
The DNC: the Party of the Muslim Brotherhood ... when not for the ChiComs...
Don’t you find it interesting that the Muslim Brotherhood and all assorted jihadists have nothing to say or do about what the Chinese are doing to the muslims in China?
DOA in the Senate. Democrats, keep it up!
Immigration may determine the destiny of the US.
Debt may determine the destiny of the US.
The MB is largely a Sunni affair. They may not give two craps about Muslims they consider heretics other than when it comes to a common enemy.
Which is to say Islam is only “united” when it comes to non-Muslims but the moment we aren’t around the knives come out for each other.
That too is a lesson that people should have learned from 14 centuries of the Religion of Pieces.
Theoretically they can pass legislation (if they had veto proof majorities to override vetos). I’m just as happy to have them spinning their wheels on stuff like this that has 0 chance of going anywhere.
Actually, while it’s mortal men making the decisions it will be Stupidity (the ideological sort rather than the “hey, watch me do this!” sort) that will determine the destiny of the US.
Either the maleducated and indoctrinated so as to be unable to sustain a civilization Left will do exactly what the Cultural Marxists hoped they would do or Christ will return before they can.
Even if Christ doesn’t return for a long time yet Cultural Marxism has metastasized, and is a cancer that will be a millstone hung from out necks even if we can resist their efforts to go swimming in the sea.
Trump should own it. It is a muslim ban and all the power to him. We don’t need more Mohammedian monkeys in America.
“Tensions flare...” Who cares? Most of the congress bums are becoming rich on insider trading, shuffling contracts to extended relatives and friends, collecting overly generous paychecks and benefits, stealing money from taxpayers one way or another and waiting for their overly-generous retirement checks and benefits. What a bunch of integrity-free bums.
There is zippo they can do about it as the SCOTUS has already ruled its constitutional.
Love her! She makes us all proud.
The Mafia wishes it could act like Congresscritters.
Democrats in particular.
Sounds good to me.
