A prominent Donald Trump surrogate and former spokesman for the pro-Trump Great America PAC on Wednesday suggested taking away immigrants’ constitutional rights and said there is “precedent” for enforcing a registry of all Muslim Americans: the internment camps Japanese Americans were held in during the World War II era.
The comments led to the Trump team denying the president-elect ever called for a Muslim registry at all.
In an interview on Fox’s “The Kelly File” on Wednesday, Carl Higbie was discussing Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s recent suggestion that Trump’s team follow up on his campaign call for a national registry of Muslims.
