“The party’s sick right now,” he told the Times.

The party has been sick since before you were born, if your fresh face doesn’t belie your age. And yet, you chose to join that party, despite a plethora of red flags and warnings. :thinking:

“Oh my, what a disappointment you are to us and to God! We were once so proud of your accomplishments! Instead, you go against your Christian principals [sic] and join the ‘devil’s army’

You know, I was raised evangelical, yet I still can’t place that verse about going therefore and ransacking the Capitol, smearing feces in the name of the Lord.

And to think that our country was so evil as to replace the God-fearing, bible-waving Donald Trump with a heathen Catholic who goes to Mass every Sunday!

Why is the times publishing this garbage? The guy has honor and decency, and it’s a real shame that he has to endure this from his family without putting it in the public forum.

We need to wake up to the danger posed by white evangelicals. Chrissy Stroop and other exvangelicals have been exposing the misogynistic, authoritarian, and racist ideologies that underlie what we now call Trumpism.

And the press needs to stop being deferential to their “deeply held beliefs.” If Obama and Warnock can be criticized for their religious beliefs, so can evangelicals.

Easter should be fun in the Kinzinger family.

What a load of garbage those people are. Who does that to family?

It really tells you how completely irredeemable the Republican party is today.

I’ve long contended that “sincerely held beliefs” should be subject to tests.

I’d really like a self-proclaimed Christian, for example, to point out where in the New Testament Jesus said to refuse to bake a cake for thy neighbor if they’re gay.

Alas. Wrong kind of Christianity. Liberal Catholics aren’t real Catholics, just as liberal Christians aren’t real Christians.

“Oh my, what a disappointment you are to us and to G-d!”

I see Republicans continue their pretense as The Almighty’s press secretary.

In the minds of many (particularly Southern) protestants, Catholics rank barely above Muslims.
