MotherJones Blog: Romney Digs Himself Deeper on “No Muslims” Statement

Mitt Romney recently said that he would not have any Muslims in his
cabinet because their population in the United States isn’t large
enough. His exact words were: “…based on the numbers of American
Muslims [as a percentage] in our population, I cannot see that a
cabinet position would be justified. But of course, I would imagine
that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration.” The
various idiocies of that statement were previously discussed on
MoJoBlog here.
