(WFAA) A North Texas Republican state representative has said he voted against a resolution that was made in celebration of the holy month of Ramadan on the House floor as the legislative session continues.
State Rep. Tony Tinderholt, whose district covers Arlington and other parts of Tarrant County, issued a statement on the vote that was held on Wednesday.
“Today, I voted against a resolution made in celebration of Ramadan on the House Floor. As a combat veteran, I served beside many local translators who were Muslims and good people. I can also attest that Ramadan was routinely the most violent period during every deployment,” Tinderholt said.
