Before he died May 4 from complications stemming from pancreatic cancer and a stroke, former GOP Sen. Bob Bennett of Utah asked his wife, Joyce, and son, Jim, if there were any Muslims in his hospital. If so, he wanted to "go up to every single one of them to thank them for being in this country, and apologize to them on behalf of the Republican Party for Donald Trump."
Joyce and Jim Bennett shared this story with The Daily Beast, as well as other tales involving his disgust with "Donald Trump's xenophobia" and proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. Bob Bennett did not end up meeting with Muslims in the hospital, but his wife said while they were at the airport over Christmas, he "would go to people with the hijab [on] and tell them he was glad they were in America and they were welcome here. He wanted to apologize on behalf of the Republican Party."
Jim Bennett also said as a Mormon, his father "recognized the parallel between the Mormon experience and the Muslim experience," and "wanted to see these people treated with kindness and not ostracized."
Bob Bennett had "absolutely no respect for Donald Trump," Jim Bennett said, and was likely "angry and frustrated when it became clear that the party wasn't going to steer clear of Trumpism."

Invasion of privacy. Profiling. Sounds like HIPPAA violation? How did they get a list of all the Muslim patients for him to visit?
If Muslims are so friendly, why do Mormons not send any missionaries to Muslim majority countries?
Another adherent to the false religious cult of Mormonism in the same vein as Beck, Romney and so many others.
< Bennent was a fool.
He’s probably finding that out about now.
Looks like Bennett chose death.
His wife and son won't be so lucky...
Bennett is a prime example of why the GOPe is held in such contempt by the people.
Well...bye.
Is this true? if so I assume it is because Mormons have an aversion to martyrdom.
Probably because they’ve got the same anti-Christian pathos that he had.
It really is interesting how feeling alienated from, or persecuted by, the Christian majority will drive people to make common cause with Muslims. You see this all the time with leftwingers.
“...at his funeral in the Washington area, both Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid spoke.”
Well, there you go...he was Washington Cartel.
With this being an example of what we are up against, it will take decades to rid the swamp of the vermin infesting it.
The Mormon “prophet” Joseph Smith was an admirer of the other “prophet” Mohammed & his book the “Alcoran”.
Two false prophets, two false books, hmm......
Hitler thought highly of the Mohammedans & their “religion”, too. He also wrote a book that foretold the future. Hmm....
After all these years the Mormon ‘church’ has become illuminated to me.
“Like Jesus with the money changers in the Temple? “
No, like Jesus who told Peter to put his sword away when the soldiers came to take him away. I am not arguing at all that we shouldn’t defend ourselves. At all. I’m just saying that the primary messages of Christ include forgiveness, turning the other cheek, and giving more than is asked. That doesn’t mean Christ wants us to commit suicide, and it is one of the most difficult conundrums in being a Christian.
Mohammed and Joseph Smith were much smarter than Hitler, they dressed up their cults as “religions” that became self-sustaining.
Great minds think alike!
I believe that Joseph Smith must have studied Muhammadism as an inspiration because of the parallels between the two religions.
Islam gave him the inspiration and the nerve to concoct his story and seed it with gems to draw a cult following.
I guess he died so he wouldn’t have to vote for Trump?
