Moments ago, Melania Trump appeared before a crowd of rally-goers to introduce her husband, President Donald Trump.
The First Lady began her speech by leading the audience in The Lord’s Prayer. This didn’t sit well with many Twitter users, who quickly began blasting Melania’s use of the prayer.
@CNNPolitics separation of church and state. God should stay in the church not in government!

I figured that would make heads explode.
First Lady opens up rally with the Lord’s Prayer, huh?
Laz, please add this to the WINNING list.
Thats what it was supposed to do...another well planted bomb by DJT
Look if we want to open with prayer its fine we put up with them opening up with fist bomps and thowing gang signs and posing like they are going to pop a cap in there a$$
I was so proud to be in the same room with this going on.
I know the fascist snowflakes would have preferred chants of “Allah Akbar!” but I thought she was AWESOME!
Awwwwwwwww Love it, that must have been a special moment to see...
I was proud that we are the party that is right at home with this.
What a great First Lady we have. That alone makes me more proud than I have been in a long time.
Gave me goose bumps. I was surprised, though, that the crowd continued cheering. By the end, the crowd was saying the prayer.
Hosea 4:6 My people parish for lack of knowledge.
On the other hand, if Trump had gotten on his knees wiith his buttocks in the air, and prayed to Mecca in Arabic, the left would have applauded him for recognizing the value of diversity.
The left sucks big ones.
I heard her emphasize “as we forgive those who trespass against us.” I’m assuming that she has been personally offended by the main stream press and is working hard to forgive them.
Let me get this straight all you on the left? It is OK for football players and others to not salute the flag, but a prayer is going way over the line?
How about gang signs...you all good with that. Oh sharia prayers...good with that too.
LOL knew it...when I was watching it heads in all fake news media news rooms exploded.
It was a rally, not an official government function. Trump could have had a priest conduct Mass at the opening if he felt like it.
I figured that would make heads explode.
...
Which is what I love about it.
I pushed my chair back to see the two of them reciting the lord's prayer, both with accents.
But yeah .... it was.
Every day is Christmas for the Trumpers and every night Halloween for the libs.
Pray America woke
“... @CNNPolitics separation of church and state. God should stay in the church not in government! ...”
The Founders envisioned a Country ruled by Judeo-Christian values working to establish a free Nation, such as the world has never seen. The Law of the Land was intended to be in alignment with God’s Law!
Judeo/Christian principles were meant to be the basis of Our God Given RIGHTS to Life, Liberty, and our Pursuit of Happiness.
Liberty and justice for all cannot possibly be achieved by man. The Founders knew that man is utterly incapable of governing his fellow man justly, without adhering to God’s law. They all understood that the foundations for governmental justice and liberty must stem from the ultimate source of all justice and liberties, id est, Almighty God.
A quote from James Madison expressed their beliefs succinctly, “Any country not ruled by the Ten Commandments will be ruled by tyrants.”
June 25, 1962 Engle v. Vitale – The Supreme Court of The United States; led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, officially decided, “Prayer in school breaches the constitutional wall of separation between Church and State.”
How I wish we still had patriotic men like James Madison in our Nation’s Capital to bitchslap imbeciles like Justice Warren when necessary! Church and State were to coexist in a nation ruled by Judeo-Christian principles. The erroneous phrasing of ‘separation between Church and State’ altogether subverts the Founders declared purpose - Church was to be separated and exempted from governmental authority, as the Founders simply wanted to prohibit the government from imposing any religion on its citizens. They clearly intended a separation between Church from State, and not strictly Church and State.
The Founders envisioned a free republic, and they understood the arbitrary nature and travesty of King James establishing himself by law as de facto caliph in A.D. 1611. The Anglican Church was founded as a State Institution and as such, all subordinates of the King in all his territories were then members of the Church of England, not by choice; but by royal ordinance.
Being visionaries, the Founders recognized the need to guarantee our freedom to worship our Creator independently, and they were also men who publicly invoked God’s help every time they assembled. They did not foresee, nor would they have allowed, the formation of a society that might possibly enact laws forbidding Bibles and prayer.
