Senator Slick

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the headline on the Jan. 30 front page: “McConnell: We don’t have religious tests in this country.” Our senator actually sounded like a statesman.

But no, the article went on to reveal the slick politician he really is: “... but (he) stopped short of rejecting President Donald Trump’s order to halt the admission of refugees and citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries.”
