MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson calls President Donald Trump's travel ban a ``pretty reasonable proposal'' and is asking opponents to read the executive order ``and tell me what you disagree with.''
Johnson broke his silence on the travel ban affecting seven mostly Muslim countries in a radio interview Tuesday on WISN-AM. He says the order is being ``blown out of proportion'' by opponents.
He says Trump critics will ``agitate with the smallest provocation.''
Johnson is also calling on Democrats to help Republicans quickly confirm Trump's Cabinet appointees. Johnson asks Democrats to ``give us a little hand here so this administration can actually get up and running and I think the roll out of these policies will be smoother.''
Johnson is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
