For the first time, like ever, Muslim members of Congress hosted the traditional Ramadan breaking of the fast dinner at the US Capitol. Funny that. I don’t remember ever hearing about a Yom Kippur breaking the fast dinner at the US Capitol visitor center. If there was, it sure was never promoted like the corrupt media is doing tonight. I guess some people ate something.
