What   where does the party now stand on that Muslim ban?JOHN BARRASSO: You know, the platform is about the core values of our party. It s who we are, it s what we stand for, and I met with Donald Trump about it and he understands that the platform is very important to the Republican Party. It s going to be a conservative platform that s going to be positive, optimistic, looking to the future, focused on things like jobs, the economy, and national security. And what he was focused on with that ban is national security.The platform is going to be focusing on growing the economy. We have too many Americans who are suffering the’stagnant wages  KARL: But  BARRASSO: This 1 to 2 percent economic growth that we have here is   cannot be the new normal for America. So the platform is going to be something that all Republicans can be proud of and national security is going to be a big part of it.KARL: But I asked you’very directly where does the Republican Party now stand on the idea of imposing a temporary ban on Muslims coming into this country? Donald Trump won; sixty percent of Republican voters in exit polls agreed with him on that proposal. You called it un-American. Where does it stand now?BARRASSO: Well, the platform committee will meet in Cleveland in July for a full week before the convention. It s 112 members of the platform committee. And we’ve asked Donald Trump to allow the process to play out. He has agreed to do that. And I ve asked him personally to embrace the platform and I believe he will. National security will be a big part of it.The fact that Barasso can’t even address one of the biggest proposals the GOP s new figurehead has called for reveals exactly how dysfunctional the party is at this time.A house   or party in this case   is a one that destined to fall. Trump has pushed the GOP to take new extremes on just about every issue. Now the left gets to sit back and watch as the party divides itself between lite-fascists and moderate conservatives.You can watch the interview in full, below.Featured image from video screenshot
