(USA Today) Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright — citing her varied religious background — said in a Wednesday (Jan. 25) tweet she’s ready to register as a Muslim
I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian & found out later my family was Jewish. I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity.
Albright, the first woman to run the State Department under former President Bill Clinton, joined thousands of people who have pledged to register as a Muslim. It’s a push back against Trump’s support of a Muslim registry on the campaign trail. The president’s chief of staff Reince Priebus has since said Trump has no plans for a Muslim registry.
