Senate panel scolds Trump’s Muslim ban – minus Cruz, 3 others
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article49118690.htmlRepublican Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz of Texas had a chance to use their votes Thursday to decry Donald Trump’s recent call that all Muslims should be barred from entering the United States.
Both took a pass.
Tillis later explained his opposition, saying he didn’t like the way the measure was introduced at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing – it was tacked onto an unrelated bill about nuclear terrorism – but agreed that the U.S. should not ban all Muslims.
Cruz spokesman Phil Novack called the anti-discrimination measure “nothing more than a political stunt.”
