Christmas may be saved.
On ABC’s This Week, Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) took issue with Rep. Virgil Goode’s (R-VA) recent comments urging a curtailment of immigration to the United States by Muslims from Middle Eastern countries.
Graham said he didn’t think Goode’s comments, prompted by the furor over whether newly-elected Muslim congressman Keith Ellison (R-MN) would use a Koran in a private swearing-in ceremony, were “the appropriate line for a congressman to take,” according to a transcript by Raw Story.
“We need immigration reform, but not for the reasons that Mr. Goode cited,” Graham added later.
