Kyl: Reid Disrespecting Christians By Suggesting Post-Christmas Senate Votes

To Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s suggestion that the Senate come back the week after Christmas isn’t just a way to complete a busy lame duck agenda — but an attack on people of the Christian faith.

“It is impossible to do all of the things that the majority leader laid out,” Kyl said today, “frankly, without disrespecting the institution and without disrespecting one of the two holiest of holidays for Christians and the families of all of the Senate, not just the senators themselves but all of the staff.”

To be clear, Reid was suggesting the Senate come back for votes after Christmas and before this Congress ends on Jan. 4.
