The White House on Tuesday sharply condemned Donald J. Trump for calling to bar Muslims from entering the United States, saying the statement disqualified him for the presidency and calling on the other Republican presidential candidates to repudiate his campaign or be excluded as well.
The fact is that what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president, and for Republican candidates for president to stand by their pledge to support Mr. Trump, that in and of itself is disqualifying,†Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said Tuesday at his daily briefing.
“What he said is disqualifying, and any Republican who’s too fearful of the Republican base to admit it has no business serving as president either,†Mr. Earnest said.

good point and good question.
Trump already did the birth certificate thing. Won’t have any impact
Good Morning Mr. Mod?
I would suggest moving this to News/Activism or even breaking news, this is a continuing major story.
Thanks!
Just to clarify, the supremacy clause is in Article 6 of the Constitution, not Article 7 as shown in your picture.
FDR is just the latest example.
The US has banned various groups for one reason or another since the 1790’s. Trump’s policy is certainly not un-American. It is very American since we’ve been doing it since almost the founding of the country.
It is un-American to allow migrants into the United States that you know poses a security threat.
With this announcement by Josh Earnest, Obama reveals he is frightened at the prospect of a Trump presidency. Perhaps petrified.
This is no small development, but they’re making a big mistake in not realizing where the American people actually stand on this.
They are attempting to paint Trump as nutty, but what could be more nutty than Kerry, Obama, and Hillary (not to mention most Republicans) declaring that this is “not about Islam”? The people are beginning to see right through this.
It is sinking in now, with an assist from Trump, that the problem never has been “radical” Islam, the problem is Islam. Trump’s proposal is the first to break through this definitional logjam, and the people sense it to be correct. The problem for the elites is that we have come to the realization that we cannot read minds. We cannot know which muslim is radical and which is not. There is no solution whereby consequences don’t accrue to all muslims, radical or no, because we have not the ability to distinguish.
The San Bernardino massacre has made this an existential issue, and the people feel un-protected.
If we think about it, there is a humane element to what Trump proposes, because this is headed for a situation in which, feeling unprotected, the people will begin to take matters into their own hands. Another massacre and we may see a backlash that leaves no muslim safe on our soil. That’s where this is headed.
Only if consequences begin to accrue to all muslims, will we have created a climate in which they will be compelled to police themselves.
Trump’s policy is the beginning of a sane, humane policy, where Islam is deemed to be the problem, not just “radical” Islam. This is where we must go if we’re going to keep our country.
What does the Supreme Court say about this, Mr. Hussein?
Check this White House press release for Muslim Brotherhood fingerprints.
Thanks, duly noted.
Thanks for your concern.
Once we get $295 in donations, I will have NO objections to Breaking News.
This FReepathon has already gone on far too long.

They were adopted. She is a he.
You’re welcome! Great illustration by the way.
Everybody keeps TALKING about a backlash, but nobody ever DOES anything about one.
LMFAO
Off hand, I’d say that normal Americans who have lived 9/11 and its aftermath, looked at newspaper reports of Paris, Syria, Libya and the world over are a little more concerned about Muslim terrorism than Mr. Earnest whose job it is to get up and lie to the press every day.
They’re concerned about their children and grandchildren going to school and not getting blown up by a pipe bomb left by a rabid Muslim-American and his Jihadini wife. They’re concerned about themselves getting blown up on a train, plane or car (in a tunnel or on a bridge). They’re concerned about some freaked out Muslim walking into their office with carnage on his mind. They’re concerned whether going to a Christian Church might cause them to meet their maker sooner than they’d intended. They’re concerned now that there IS the slightest of chances they won’t make it home at night.
I’d say that trumps Mr. Earnest’s bleats by a landslide. Next November, America will show Mr. Earnest exactly who IS qualified to be President - and he will be out of a job.
i know this is stating the obvious, but once we realize that BO, the NYTimes, and the alphabet networks are siding with the Muslim psychopaths, it all becomes very clear.
How many more Farooks? 10s of thousands, many of them posting comments at news sites throughout the country. This is why freepers should be spreading the truth to other sites.
Barak, you mixed up kid, if Trump’s political stance could disqualify him from the presidency, then why didn’t your association with communists and terrorists? It doesn’t work that way, and you know it.
