*snicker*
I should have written “When he visited W in Crawford, Texas, Putin said he was an atheist”. Oh, wait. Did I just say that Putin said W was an atheist?
How’s this? “Putin said he was an atheist when he visited W. in....” Nope. He’s still calling W an atheist.
“Putin said he was an atheist. He once visited W in Crawford, Texas.” Will that work?
Putin said he WAS an atheist but I don’t know what he is now.
