Now, even in inviting this speaker - they literally use it to coopt our holiest traditions - things Jews have been murdered for practicing - and using it to step on the dead. This is no mistake, it's a message to their base. Their intention is a Christian nation by any means.

In addition to being anti-semitic,
@ZackKopplin reminds us that it's illegal for a house of worship to enjoy their IRS tax exemptions while supporting candidates. Destroying that protection is, however, also on the Trump/Pence promise list. https://twitter.com/ZackKopplin/status/1057115855287447552 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread -
