“You want to talk about women’s issues? Here’s something we should be talking about. It is a fact: As a result of uncontrolled migration into this country – you can look this up, it’s a statistic from Equality Now – half a million U.S. girls in this country are at risk of female genital mutilation.”
My God! Is that some kind of creeping Sharia law thing? Actually no:
The report he cited, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, states that half a million women and girls in the U.S. are at risk because they were born in countries were female mutilation is a tradition or have parents who were born in those countries.
He obviously cares nothing for these girls because his answer to the problem of female genital mutilation is to make them have it on their home soil. The fact is that American culture and law actually prevents this barbaric practice more often than not. But as with most things Trump, he has it exactly backwards.
And, needless to say, in the context of the subject of the Muslim immigration ban, the clear implication was that violent Muslim terrorists want to mutilate the genitals of your all-American wives and daughters. Because that's just how they roll.
