As speculation grows that Mark Green, President Trump's pick for Army secretary, may drop out, supporters say the Tennessee state lawmaker and devout Christian is being targeted for his religious beliefs.
Several liberal groups and lawmakers are calling for Green to withdraw, accusing him of homophobia, Islamophobia and transphobia due to his past remarks. But those who know him say Green is a victim of groups who want to tear down those who are religious, especially those supported by Trump.
"I've been called a racist," said Monica Youngblood, a Christian conservative state lawmaker in New Mexico who is also a Latina. "We see these things and the way that they play out and it turns into a form of censorship."
Youngblood, who got to know Green through a conservative political action committee, said the outcry against his nomination is part of wider effort by liberals to scuttle any Trump nominee, but also a move to silence his Christian beliefs, such as his opposition to gay marriage.

If you are in politics, especially as a devout Christian, the ONLY way to survive is if you are able to draw energy and encouragement from the opposition.
Otherwise, the hate will quickly drive you down, and we all know, there is no way to avoid hate from America’s well entrenched, debt-fed left.
All he has to do is ignore them.
McCain worships himself and hates Trump and conservatives. He can be counted on to side with the Democrats against patriotic Americans most of the time.
All the more reason to nominate him, especially if he doesn’t wimp out to the socialist-democrats and hand wringing RINO ass kissers. It’s time for the conservatives to “get in their faces”, and beat back these socialist-democrat NAZI wannabes.
Gosh, he probably is even Pro-Life, er, "anti-Choice" .
Gasp, how awful.
Appoint him tomorrow.
The Left suffers from Christianophobia.
Not a surprise given who their god is.
If Green pulls out, he has a consolation prize: He’ll be the next Governor of Tennessee.
You are probably correct. He had great influence in the Obama administration, particularly in the Air Force, much to their disgrace. I am told he had telephone numbers to the highest levels of the Air Force and they had been told to cooperate with him, which they seemingly did happily.
