After London Attack, Trump Again the Center of Partisan Media Combat

The hosts of “Fox & Friends,” top, lamented a CNN host’s profane comment about President Trump. Nigel Farage, bottom, a Fox News contributor, mentioned the idea of internment camps for Muslims following the London attack.
JUNE 4, 2017
A CNN host called President Trump a “man baby [ https://twitter.com/rezaaslan/status/871152149828218880 ]” and a piece of excrement. (He used a more profane term, and later apologized.) A guest on “Fox & Friends” proposed that Muslims in the United Kingdom be placed in internment camps, prompting an on-air disavowal [ http://deadline.com/2017/06/fox-and-friends-clarification-internment-camps-1202107149/ ] from the hosts.

New opposition emerges as Trump pushes for travel ban

“It’s been four months since I said they needed four months to put that in place,” Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), a member of the Intelligence Committee, said of the travel ban.

As President Trump renewed his push Sunday for a travel ban in the wake of another terrorist attack in England, new opposition emerged from Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
Several lawmakers suggested in TV interviews Sunday that Trump’s proposed ban, which blocked immigrants from six majority-Muslim countries but was halted by federal courts, is no longer necessary since the administration has had the time it claimed it needed to develop beefed-up vetting procedures to screen people coming to the United States.
