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!

Actually I heard that too, but.....
The left heard the prayer and started to hiss.
Exactly! I think these libtards also don't like the competition to their god-less religion of statism they've worked so hard for decades to try to ram down our throats.
My grandparents escaped Mexico 100 years ago when the statists there banned Christianity and the Catholic Church. It took a decade later and a war to get religious freedoms back in Mexico. I never forgot the stories my Grandmother told me. That's why I'm one of the most anti-statist Americans you will find.

I will honor only those who honor Me, and I will despise those who despise Me.
It was beautiful and everyone at the rally LOVED it. If we could curse, I would say, “f’em”
I was so proud to be in the same room with this going on.
You were there? I was too......
Very nice...
Thank you.
In my computer room ?
Trump could have had a priest conduct Mass at the opening if he felt like it.
Dang. I wish he would have then I wouldn’t have to go in the morning. Haha...I don’t mind, but try waking up 4 kids on a Sunday morning.....fun times. The oldest thinks he’s all cool now and shouldn’t have to go. Not in our home.
Good. Bammy deliberately omitted “under God”. Trump puts it back.
I’ve watched it OVER and OVER tonight.. .best thing on the internet this week!!
Gee I guess she should have yodeled out that ghastly sound Obama thinks is the loveliest hes ever heard...
These are the same people who booed God a few years back. They are servants of Satan. No wonder they fawn over Muslims.
How many of them were at the rally, and had to suffer?
They were down the street protesting.....they couldn’t even hear it. Let me tell you that EVERYONE in the hangar was thrilled to hear her recite it. The American Patriots were exuberant while she said it. Thank God for the Trump Family.
I absolutely love the first lady of the United States of America. She is so classy
they open congress with a prayer...
and Melania is a private citizen...
"Almighty God hath created the mind free, and manifested His supreme will that free it shall remain by making it altogether insusceptible of restraint. [* * *] All attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion, who, being Lord both of body and mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in his Almighty power to do, but to exalt it by its influence on reason alone." Thomas Jefferson, TITLE: Statute of Religious Freedom. EDITION: Washington ed. viii, 454. EDITION: Ford ed., ii, 237. PLACE: [none given] DATE: 1779"I sincerely rejoice at the acceptance of our new Constitution by nine States. It is a good canvas, on which some strokes only want retouching. What these are, I think are sufficiently manifested by the general voice from north to south, which calls for a bill of rights. It seems pretty generally understood that this should go to [* * *] religion. [* * *] The declaration, that religious faith shall be unpunished, does not give impunity to criminal acts, dictated by religious error." Thomas Jefferson, TITLE: To James Madison. EDITION: Washington ed. ii, 445. EDITION: Ford ed., v, 45. PLACE: Paris DATE: July. 1788
"One of the amendments to the Constitution [* * *] expressly declares, that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press"; thereby guarding in the same sentence, and under the same words, the freedom of religion, of speech and of the press; insomuch, that whatever violates either, throws down the sanctuary which covers the others."

"Among the most inestimable of our blessings is that [* * *] of liberty to worship our Creator in the way we think most agreeable to His will; a liberty deemed in other countries incompatible with good government and yet proved by our experience to be its best support." Thomas Jefferson, TITLE: R. to A. of Baptists. EDITION: Washington ed. viii, 119. PLACE: [none given] DATE: 1807
"We have solved [* * *] the great and interesting question whether freedom of religion is compatible with order in government, and obedience to the laws. And we have experienced the quiet as well as the comfort which results from leaving every one to profess freely and openly those principles of religion which are the inductions of his own reason, and the serious convictions of his own inquiries."

"Having ever been an advocate for the freedom of religious opinion and exercise, from no person, certainly, was an abridgment of these sacred rights to be apprehended less than from myself."

"There are certain principles in which the constitutions of our several States all agree, and which all cherish as vitally essential to the protection of the life, liberty, property and safety of the citizen. [One is] Freedom of Religion, restricted only from acts of trespass on that of others." Thomas Jefferson, TITLE: To M. Coray. EDITION: Washington ed. vii, 323. PLACE: Monticello DATE: 1823 See Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, in Appendix.
"Whatsoever is lawful in the Commonwealth, or permitted to the subject in the ordinary way, cannot be forbidden to him for religious uses; and whatsoever is prejudicial to the Commonwealth in their ordinary uses and, therefore, prohibited by the laws ought not to be permitted to churches in their sacred rites. For instance, it is unlawful in the ordinary course of things, or in a private house, to murder a child. It should not be permitted any sect then to sacrifice children: it is ordinarily lawful (or temporarily lawful) to kill calves or lambs. They may, therefore, be religiously sacrificed, but if the good of the State required a temporary suspension of killing lambs, as during a siege, sacrifices of them may then be rightfully suspended also. This is the true extent of toleration." Thomas Jefferson, TITLE: Notes on Religion. EDITION: Ford ed., ii, 102. PLACE: [none given] 1776?
Two Pastors came on when Trump went to visit Boeing in South Carolina yesterday. Both were Black.
I think one Pastor came on today to give an invocation before Trump arrived today.
Got it. I am glad you were able to enjoy it. No matter where we as a FR Family were, it was an incredible experience. We are so lucky to have President Trump.
