SASSE MAKES SENATE DEMS VOTE ON BETO’S RADICAL JIHAD AGAINST CHURCH TAX-EXEMPTION: Don’t be surprised if all six Senate Democrats running for their party’s 2020 presidential nomination are nowhere to be seen on the Senate floor Monday, thanks to Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.). And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who on Thursday invoked a Senate rule to fast-track something the Dems would rather avoid.
Sasse introduced a resolution that declares “any effort by the government to condition the receipt of the protections of the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the United States, including an exemption from taxation, on the public policy positions of an organization, is an affront to the spirit and letter of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.”
The Nebraska Republican was reacting to former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s promise to withdraw the federal tax exemptions of all churches, synagogues and mosques that oppose same-sex marriage. Today, the jihad targets religious tax exemptions; sooner or later, they’ll want to tell us how to vote. If they let us vote.
