Muslim American Activist Linda Sarsour on Turning Down Invite to Trump Speech

In his first speech to a joint session of Congress, Donald Trump vowed to greatly expand the Pentagon’s budget, to repeal and replace Obamacare, to build a wall along the southern border with Mexico, and to crack down on undocumented immigrants in the name of national security.
