For the past seven months since the terror attack in San Bernardino, California, presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has called for an end to Muslim immigration into the United States, inciting rage and controversy over his plan for a “total and complete shutdown.” Republicans like Republican National Committee Reince Priebus and Trump’s top advisor Paul Manafort have since had to walk back those statements for him. Asked directly by 60 Minutes host Lesley Stahl if he had changed his position, Trump replied “no.”
During the 60 Minutes interview with vice presidential running mate Mike Pence, Trump shrugged off a suggestion that he had changed his position on a proposal for a blanket ban on Muslim immigration. Trump characterized the idea that he would scrutinize people from “terror nations” as merely a rhetorical change.
