(Deseret News) Standing in his stocking feet, Republican Senate candidate Mitt Romney spoke and answered questions at the Utah Islamic Center on Friday before attending a worship service with about 200 Muslims.
Romney fielded questions on guns, immigration and health care, but interestingly no one asked him about President Donald Trump’s order to restrict travel from several majority Muslims countries, which the president referred to as a “Muslim ban” during the 2016 election.
Asked outside the Sandy mosque afterward, Romney said he backs the travel restriction.
“I want to see what the results are for the effort to date but based on the analysis which was described by the president, I do support it,” he said.
