'We are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans'
Presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke (D., Texas) said he would strip religious institutions of their tax exempt status if they oppose same-sex marriage.
"We are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans," the former congressman said during CNN's Equality Town Hall on Thursday.
CNN host Don Lemon pressed O'Rourke on the particulars of his plan for LGBT Americans.
"Do you think religious institutions like colleges, churches, charities, should they lose their tax exempt status if they oppose same sex marriage?" Lemon asked. O'Rourke answered with an unequivocal yes, and stressed that as president, he would make punishing religious organizations a priority.

Sad but a large majority of stupid Christians in my blue city neighborhood support this POS!! I wonder if this includes the Catholic Church too? The majority of Hispanics reject a homosexuality atmosphere in the church but who support this fake Mexican...wonder how they would feel if the Catholic Churches were forced to marry homos and for a homo priest to preach homosexuality in the pulpit cause that’s where we’re heading with these radical demonic socialist hell bent on destroying the Christianity bunch!
Bobby thinks censorship and telling people what their religious views shall be is not against our first amendment rights.
We have done a 180 degree turnabout regarding taxation. It is not the burden of an entity to prove it should be tax-exempt. It is the burden of the government to prove why a particular entity should be taxed. The right to tax is not inherent in government or the Constitution. Until we challenge this and stop relying on 501(c) “permission”, churches are always going to be vulnerable.

All of them? Or all of them except Muslims?
Muslims are immune from our laws, just ask Ilhan Omar.
“Damn right we’re going to wipe our ass with the Constitution.”
