Obama Blasts Trump's Call for Banning Muslims from Entering U.S.
----------------------------------------------------------------

President Obama has taken aim at presumptive Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump over Trump's vow to ban Muslims from entering the
United States. Following the Orlando attacks, Trump expanded his call
for a ban, saying he would apply it to any country with a history of
terrorism against the U.S. and its allies. The Orlando shooter was born
in New York City. Speaking Tuesday, President Obama blasted Trump's
remarks.

President Barack Obama: "We hear language that singles out immigrants
and suggests entire religious communities are complicit in violence.
Where does this stop? The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino
killers, the Fort Hood killer, they were all U.S. citizens. Are we going
to start treating all Muslim Americans differently?"
