Following The Donald’s big win in New Hampshire this week, the GOP field has unsurprisingly continued to adopt Trumpian foreign policy ideas as their own tonight. From banning Muslims from entering the United States, to proposing religious tests for refugees, Republicans have mirrored Trump’s xenophobic, hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric.
- When asked about closing down mosques, Marco Rubio said we should close down “any place — whether it’s a cafe, diner, an Internet site — any place where radicals are being inspired.”
- Ted Cruz floated legislation banning Syrian Muslims from entering the U.S., and voted against a measure rejecting Donald Trump’s ban on Muslims.
- John Kasich has called for the creation of a federal agency focused on promoting Judeo-Christian propaganda in the Middle East.
- Jeb Bush said he’d only allow Christian Syrian refugees into the U.S., and proposed a religious test on refugees.
- Ben Carson has said he wouldn’t support a Muslim becoming president — and he even described Syrian refugees as “rabid dogs.”
