Rabat - Senator John Barrasso, chairman of this year’s U.S. Republican Platform Committee, dodged a question, Sunday, about where the GOP stands on Donald Trump’s proposed Muslim ban, according to CBS News.
During an interview on ABC’s “This Week”, the Wyoming Republican was asked where the party currently stands on the presumptive GOP nominee’s “Muslim ban”.
"The platform is about the core values of our party. It's who we are, it's what we stand for, and I met with Donald Trump about it and he understands that the platform is very important to the Republican Party," Barrasso said. "It's going to be a conservative platform that's going to be positive, optimistic, looking to the future, focused on things like jobs, the economy, and national security. And what he was focused on with that ban is national security."
When pushed further to directly answer the question, he said that the platform committee will meet in Cleveland, in July a week before the party’s convention, and will work it out then.
"We've asked Donald Trump to allow the process to play out. He has agreed to do that. And I've asked him personally to embrace the platform and I believe he will. National security will be a big part of it," Barrasso said.
Barrasso made no further comments on the Muslim entry ban.
