Statement on Comments By GOP Presidential Candidates

Press Release
Washington DC - Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) released the
following statement after recent comments made by several GOP Presidential
Candidates:
"The freedom of religion is a
founding principle of our nation. Our Constitution gives this right to all
Americans - including elected officials. For Ben Carson, Donald Trump, or any
other Republican politician to suggest that someone of any faith is unfit for
office is out of touch with who we are as a people. It’s unimaginable that the
leading GOP presidential candidates are resorting to fear mongering to benefit
their campaigns, and every American should be disturbed that these national
figures are engaging in and tolerating blatant acts of religious bigotry.”
