    I guess the Republicans choose to ignore the separation of church and state.

    Shame, since they call up the constitution so frequently.

    Must be like the bible, they haven’t actually read the thing they espouse to take their guidance from.

    The sheer pride in ignorance these days astounds me.

    It isn’t bad to be ignorant, we all have things to learn every day. Its bad to be proud of it and to refuse to elevate oneself above their own shortcoming.

    If that isn’t the republican party in a nutshell, though.

      And they just pick out the pieces that fit their narrative and ignore the rest

      Sadly these leaders aren’t actually ignorant, they know full well that they are lying. They encourage their followers to be ignorant so that those lies continue to work. This guy goes home knowing that he is full of shit and that he successfully manipulated a bunch of morons into supporting him.
