“I thank the gentleman. Great points. And I wish I were as articulate. I have been critical of the majority leader in the Senate, Senator McConnell, but this story is from CNS News.

And back at that time, you had some quite conservative Democrats in the House and Senate, people like Senator Ted Kennedy and Senator Dianne Feinstein, you know, real bulwarks of conservatism, who voted to ban visas from these type countries, of the Muslim majority countries, as CNN would like to call them. Gee, names like Cardin, Markey, Menendez, Murray, Nelson of Florida, Reed of Rhode Island, Sanders of Vermont. Wow, there is another conservative, Sanders of Vermont. Schumer, another strong hearted conservative. Stabenow, Wyden, Durbin, Feinstein, Leahy, and Udall.…”
