london, the president renewed
his pitch for a ban on
travellers coming in from six
majority muslim countries, the
same ban tied up in courts.
justice department should ask
for an expedited hearing of the
watered down travel ban before
the supreme court and seek a
tougher version
the president tweeted adding
people the lawyers and courts
can call it whatever they want,
but i'm calling it what we need
and what it is, a travel ban.
the president's use of the term
travel ban directly contradicts
his own aides.
>> this is not a muslim ban.
it's not a travel ban.
it's a vetting system to keep
america safe.
>> saen spicer from that podium
said it's not a travel ban.
is it a travel ban?
>> i don't think the president
cares what you call it.
the bottom line is, he is trying
to protect the citizens of this
country, the danger is extremely
clear.
>> reporter: top white house
officials insist the media are
too focused on the president's
tweets.
>> this obsession with covering
everything he said...
