President Donald Trump used Thursday’s National Prayer Breakfast to accuse Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), a devout Mormon, of using his faith as cover for his decision to vote for conviction on one of the articles of impeachment.
“I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say I pray for you when they know that’s not so.”
So sayeth The Chosen One.
Amen and pass the tequila.
If the National Prayer Breakfast is now going to be a campaign rally and petulant child grievance session, we might as well open up the bar.
“Weeks ago and again yesterday, courageous Republican politicians and leaders had the wisdom, fortitude, and strength to do what everyone knows was right,” he said. “I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say I pray for you when they know that’s not so.”
I see him proposing some monumentally inane and illegal measures to insulate his administration from oversight in the future. Of course with the DOJ and SCOTUS in his pocket the inanity and illegality of what he has planned is a moot point.
