Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement regarding a recent proposal to bar all Muslims from entering the United States:

"At long last, Republicans are trying to distance themselves from the outrageous statements of Donald Trump.

"The toxic, ignorant language that has been directed at Muslim Americans in recent weeks is shameful. It strengthens ISIS and insults the patriotism of millions of Americans – many of whom have given their lives in the defense of our country.

"Donald Trump's hateful proposal betrays our Constitution and belittles our public debate."
