State Rs "lay low" in reponse to immigration EO

Link: http://www.post-gazette.com/early-returns/erstate/2017/01/30/State-s-GOP-lawmakers-respond-to-Trump-s-order-on-immigration/stories/201701300140

And, yes, "lay low" in the headline.

There's a lot there, but this is funny:

U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, for one, spent the weekend out of public view while attending a political gathering led by allies of the conservative Koch family.

Mr. Trump’s order suspended immigration, at least temporarily, from seven mostly Muslim countries, while barring settlement of Syria refugees indefinitely. But the move sparked protests at U.S. airports, as even immigrants with residency status were detained by immigration officials.

The Kochs took issue with Mr. Trump’s policy in a statement Sunday, and Mr. Toomey followed suit Monday morning.


I guess we know who owns ol' Pat.
