McConnell: We dont have religious tests in this country

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Several top Senate Republicans raised concerns Sunday that President Trump’s order to halt the admission of refugees and citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries had not been properly vetted and could harm the relationship between the United States and key allies.

The senators generally said they support the decision to increase standards for vetting refugees and other people traveling to the United States, but their remarks added to the growing chorus of criticism of Trump’s order.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) cautioned that the United States does not have a religious test for entry into the country, though he stopped short of rejecting the order in its entirety. McConnell said that Muslims, both in the United States and abroad, are key allies in the fight against terrorism and urged caution in regard to Trump’s plan to implement “extreme vetting” for refugees from countries where a majority of the citizens are Muslim.

“I don’t want to criticize them for improving vetting,” McConnell said on ABC’s “This Week.” “I think we need to be careful. We don’t have religious tests in this country.”

8. Meanwhile, twitler promises to prioritize christian syrian immigrants

9. Translation:

While I realize that this may be, in fact, more unconstitutional than anything I accused Obama of, I don't have the testicular fortitude to stand up to my rabid racsist base. Therefore, I'm just going to vocally walk the knifes edge. That way, if he stays in power I can say I was on his side. If we have to remove him, I can say I was against him. Plus, you know, he appointed my wife to a sweet position so I'm just going to retreat into my shell and ignore my constitutional duties as a U.S. Senator. Party before country!
