Clinton ally: Trump igniting passion in opposition never seen before

The former communications director for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign said Sunday that the Trump administration is igniting passion in the opposition never before seen in the United States.

“They are igniting an opposition and passion in the opposition that literally we have never seen in this country,” Jen Palmieri said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Palmieri called the beginning of President Donald Trump’s administration “just chaos” and argued officials are poorly implementing bad policy.

Trump has faced criticism over the executive order he signed last month that calls for a 90-day ban on travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries. The administration has also faced criticism for the rollout of the travel ban, which caused confusion in airports as border patrol officials sought to comply with it. 

Protests erupted at airports throughout the country following the order, as travelers who already obtained U.S. visas, but hail from the countries listed in the order, were detained.

A federal judge on Friday issued a restraining order that halted Trump’s travel ban nationwide. The Trump administration unsuccessfully filed for a stay of the judge’s ruling.
