My point was in my very first post. Go re-read it.

Your point was also that his statement reinforces a false belief among Jews.

For Jews to hold that false belief while remaining democrat is illogical, a cognitive dissonance bordering on insanity, when democrats like Jackson, Sharpton and Farrakhan are so highly visible. The supporters of Nazism and Fascism in the US were the philosophical forebears of today’s liberal/progressives - shouldn’t THAT give them pause? The Soviets were inhospitable to the Jews - yet many are ardent socialists/communists. AND the powers behind the re-establishment of the Jewish state were...Christians. The biggest supporters of Israel in the US today, outside of the Jewish community, are conservative Christians, while democrats try to marginalize and abandon Israel - yet Jews remain stubbornly democrat.

To your original post (point) I say this - I expect a man to bring his religious beliefs to whatever he does. If he doesn’t, he is dishonest and a hypocrite - claiming to be something he does not live. I expect a politician to be guided by his religious beliefs. E.g. if a politician professes to be a Catholic, but supports abortion, he is a liar and not to be trusted. Such a person is dangerous in office.

Anyone who inhibits or coerces the practice of religion through public office is also to be feared.

I have seen no evidence that this man is either of those.
