Warren: Trump ‘just can’t take a hint’ on travel ban

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said President Trump “just can’t take a hint” after a court struck down the third version of his travel ban on Tuesday. 

“@realDonaldTrump just can’t take a hint. His illegal Muslim ban is now 0 for 3 vs the Constitution,” Warren tweeted, along with an article on the Hawaii federal district court judge’s decision to halt the travel ban.

Warren, who has been a vocal opponent of Trump’s two previous travel bans, added that it’s “long past time” for Trump to “fight for all Americans – not betray our values & undermine our safety with a Muslim ban.”

Judge Derrick Watson blocked the latest iteration of Trump’s controversial travel restrictions just hours before they were set to take effect. The ban would indefinitely prohibit travel to the U.S. by nationals from Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad and North Korea.

Watson said that Trump’s order “plainly discriminates based on nationality” and has “internal incoherencies that markedly undermine its stated ‘national security’ rationale.” The Hawaii judge also challenged the previous version of the travel restrictions.
