I'm pretty sure she's making her own choices about what she wears, and that it's nobody else's goddam business.

Oh! Just dawned on me that you might be referencing the current occupant. That I view as neither president or truly religious at anything but lies. That makes sense. But I still wouldn't count my hatches before they chicken.

I'd hate to think someone would be bigoted against a Muslim who's been elected to public office, and is on our side, but wouldn't be towards a Christian or Jew.

I haven't noticed you going around attacking other Democratic political figures based on their religions.

And I'm pretty sure she's making her own choices about what to wear, at least until I see some real evidence to the contrary. And I'm totally cool with her dressing the way she chooses.
