We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!

Abby Huntsman blasted Aslan, saying he should be more concerned with the loss of innocent life than a political beef with Trump.
Pete Hegseth wondered aloud if NBC News would have doubted a tweet by President Barack Obama so publicly.
Aslan was previously criticized for publicizing his visit to a radical, cannibalistic Hindu sect that has been shunned by the mainstream of the religion.
Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) – the only Hindu member of Congress – called the CNN episode “disturbing” and an affront to practicing Hindus.
