Rep. Virgil Goode's recent comment concerning Rep.-elect Keith Ellison's desire to be sworn into Congress by placing his hand on the Quran is disgraceful, and he should apologize to Mr. Ellison ["Goode refuses to retract anti-Muslim statements," Dec. 22].
Mr. Ellison's response to Mr. Goode's statement has shown he has much more class than Rep. Goode.
Rep. Goode is an embarrassment not only to the state of Virginia, but to the United States, as well.
