One of the stories is straight news. The other two are fake news. Which is the true one?
1. Bernie Sanders Proposes Bill Forcing Christians Holding Public Office To Wear Scarlet Cross
2.
3. OMB Top Post Nominee ‘Berned’ at Stake for Christian Faith
Made your guess? Here are the answers:
1. Fake news
2. Fake news
3. Straight news
During a hearing of the Senate Committee on the budget this week, Sanders essentially told nominee Russell Vought that Christians are bigoted and, therefore, should not serve in public office.After contentious and very hostile questioning of Mr. Vought, Sanders said, “I would simply say, Mr. Chairman, that this nominee is really not someone who is what this country is supposed to be about,” Sanders said. “I will vote no.” The only reason Sanders gave was Vought's Christian faith.
Consider that Bernie Sanders was a credible candidate for the presidency. Read the whole article and this piece at National Review, Watch Bernie Sanders Attack a Christian Nominee and Impose an Unconstitutional Test for Public Office.
As The Atlantic's Emma Green observed of the Bernie-quisition, "As the demands for tolerance become greater, the bounds of acceptance can also become tighter."
