"Ron DeSantis: The Congressman Who Paved the Way for the 'Muslim Travel Ban'"
Before Donald Trump implemented the Muslim travel ban, Ron DeSantis, now the governor of Florida and a Republican presidential candidate, introduced a bill in 2015 that would have blocked entry of refugees from certain countries. DeSantis has faced criticism from Muslim groups for his stance on immigration and his use of the phrase "so-called Islamophobia." They argue that his policies and rhetoric fuel hatred and put the Muslim community at risk. DeSantis' campaign stands by his previous bill and his comments, while critics argue that his positions are xenophobic and contribute to violence and hate crimes.
