Madeleine Albright the former secretary of state, tweeted Wednesday that she is prepared to register as a Muslim in ‘solidarity’ as reports say President Trump plans on suspending the U.S.'s refugee program for 120 days.
Albright said that there is no fine print on the Statue of Liberty and America must "remain open to people of all faiths & backgrounds."
She went on to say that she was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian and “found out later my family was Jewish.”
“I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity,” she tweeted. The Hill reported that she is following in feminist icon Gloria Steinem’s vow to become Muslim if there is ever a registry.
Albright was a vocal critic of Trump in the election and lended her support to Hillary Clinton. She made headlines last year when, at a rally in New Hampshire, she said there's a special "place in hell for women who don't help each other."
She later clarified those remarks and called it an "undiplomatic moment."

Does anyone truly believe this is going to assimilate into our society?
