“We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state — we are a moral state. We want to lower taxes and let people be able to live and work and go to the faith they choose. …
Dude should be immediately removed from his position. The country and its government should not be religious at all.
Exactly, and that’s a key of the Constitution. See Article six:
And the first amendment:
The supreme law of the land says there’s no state religion, religion cannot be required for any official capacity in the government, and the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment guarantees the right to religion or no religion to all. States cannot be “religious states” as that’s a violation of the Constitution.
This representative must have basic reading comprehension skills if they ever read the Constitution, and reading and understanding the Constitution should, imo, be mandatory for all elected officials.
