So Maggie Haberman, of the New York Times, wrote that three Administration officials said the new executive order would make Jews part of a nationality.
Now, either
1. Haberman made that up out of whole cloth, or
2. the three officials coordinated and lied to her or
the three officials coordinated and somehow all thought they saw the same language in the EO, or:
3. the nationality of Jews WAS in the original EO (written by Stephen Miller, whose ideology that would factually represent) and after the immense criticism, the Administration delayed the EQ after announcing it and Jared Kushner had it re-written to be similar to previous EO's.
As far as I know, Haberman has not explained why the EO turned out so anodyne.
