Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said she would convert to Islam if President Donald Trump required Muslims to register with the government.
According to The Daily Caller, Albright publicly expressed her disagreement with President Trump’s order that temporarily banned immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations.
Albright laid out her response to the ban on social media.
“I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian & found out later my family was Jewish. I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity,” the politician tweeted.

If you’re wondering what she meant by “register as a Muslim,” you’re in good company. There was nothing in Trump’s executive order that even hinted at such a thing.
Apparently, Albright was just acting like a typical liberal — with no actual argument to make, she had to make something up to be enraged about.
Later, she tweeted the following:
There is no fine print on the Statue of Liberty. America must remain open to people of all faiths & backgrounds. #RefugeesWelcome pic.twitter.com/4LvMiZTRJJ

On Jan. 26, Albright also wrote a long Facebook post on the topic in which explained the topic of her tweets, which was probably necessary since she was talking about a figment of her own imagination — a national registry of Muslims that does not and almost certainly never will exist.
“Yesterday, I tweeted about my own background,” she wrote. “I was raised a Catholic, married an Episcopalian and then found out I was Jewish. I said in my tweet that should a registry of Muslims be instituted by this administration, I would add my name to such a list.”
“Such a registry is not included in the language of this order, but by targeting Muslim-majority countries for immigration bans and by expressing a clear preference for refugees who are religious minorities, there’s no question this order is biased against Muslims,” Albright continued.
You can read her rant here, if you have a high tolerance for holier-than-thou posturing from a formerly relevant political figure:
Of coursee, the chances that President Trump cares about Albright’s words are about the same that Conservative Tribune’s readers do — slim to none.
While America is a nation built on immigrants, it is also crucial that we keep our people safe. The president is simply trying to protect the United States.
And if Albright has to make up stuff to protest, you know she doesn’t have much of an argument in the first place.
