It’s truly appalling when a Republican politicians invokes his or her religious faith in an argument. Does the separation of church and state mean nothing???
Well, you’ll all be pleased to learn that it’s OK when Democrats do it. AOC did it and look at how stunning and brave she looks:

“It is part of my faith that all people are holy and all people are sacred. Unconditionally.” – @AOC
This is quite an explicitly religious speech from @AOC in Congress. Generally expressions of religious beliefs by politicians are frowned upon. Wonder how this will be received? https://t.co/zfgcE0IqnT

We’re waiting for the outcry from the usual suspects. But so far, nothing. AOC’s (D) doubles as a halo.
“Sometimes especially in this body I feel as though if Christ himself walked through these doors and said when he said thousands of years ago, that we should love our neighbor and our enemy, that we should…” 1/2 – @AOChttps://t.co/oHCK2TWkx1

“… welcome the stranger, fight for the least of us, that it is easier for … a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into a kingdom of heaven, he would be maligned as a radical.” – 2/2 – @AOChttps://t.co/oHCK2TWkx1

Can you imagine the rage cycle that would be generated by, say, Steve Scalise invoking Jesus Christ during congressional proceedings?
BTW, @AOC RT’d this, so clearly she does not have a problem with politicians citing their faith in support of policies. pic.twitter.com/PYqRTmWl1H

But this actually gets more interesting, because AOC herself tries to go through the eye of a needle by invoking her “faith” while insisting that “the only time religious freedom is invoked is in the name of bigotry and discrimination.”
.@AOC just turned the whole “religious freedom” argument on its head saying the only time it is invoked is in the name of bigotry and discrimination. She then argues that her faith calls on her to see all people as sacred and holy. PREACH!pic.twitter.com/UiouVIFbRl

The same religious freedom that lets her practice her “faith,” whatever that is?
“[T]he only time [the “religious freedom” argument] is invoked is in the name of bigotry and discrimination.”
Quite the assertion… https://t.co/MRHLrZtDs9

again, @AOC RT’d this, so I assume she concurs: pic.twitter.com/qkCQ7KIuFU

What we’ve learned here is that AOC doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously on religion, either, on top of everything else.
This is a strawman.
Why is the left so annoyingly ignorant?

This take is so dumb that I don’t even know where to begin.
How can anyone be this stupid?
