One of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s staffers suggested Monday that Orthodox Catholics, Jews, and Muslims should be disqualified from serving on the Supreme Court due to their “intolerant” views.
Biden campaign Deputy Data Director Nikitha Rai criticized Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s religious views in a Twitter conversation Monday night with Brookings Institute Senior Fellow Shadi Hamid.
“Wait, why is this news? Isn’t this the standard position for any orthodox Catholic?” Hamid asked about a tweet saying that Barrett was a trustee at a Catholic school that opposed same-sex marriage and said homosexual acts are “at odds with Scripture.”
“Unfortunately yes,” Rai responded.
Hamid noted that Orthodox Muslims and Jews also share this belief, to which Rai replied, “True. I’d heavily prefer views like that not be elevated to SCOTUS, but unfortunately our current culture is relatively intolerant. It will be awhile before those types of beliefs are so taboo that they’re disqualifiers.”
Rai has since locked her Twitter account. She did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation and blocked the DCNF from sending her further messages.

Truth is out..Dems do consider Muslims to be intolerant.....
How long before the “my account was hacked” excuse is trotted out?
So only liberal secularists with low morals right?
I agree with the staffer about muslims, but not the jews, and catholics.
No problem with Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox or Jews on the Supreme Court. I would not trust a muzzleman at all. No way!
What about Orthodox Communists, Marxists, and Socialists?
I was guessing Bee . . .
I stand to be corrected on this from anybody here that knows, but as far as I a aware there is no protestant on the SCOTUS. I am speaking of a Protestant that actually believes the Bible. Why is that?
Assuming a nominee from Christianity, why is it always a Catholic? We understand why no Democrat president would nominate an actual Bible believing Protestant, but why not a Republican president? Why do we not see a Bible believing Protestant nominated by a Republican president?
1 jew down, 2 to go. Guess Biden just wants Methodist, Lutheran, athiests and Druids for the court.
“It will be awhile before those types of beliefs are so taboo that they’re disqualifiers.”
Does this mean lefties are anti-immigration now?
Uh, Gorsuch?
I’d bet Thomas Jefferson would same thing.
I wonder if any of her people are connected to the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh, or if she thinks militant fundamentalist, orthodox members of her religion are intolerant and should be disqualified. I’m guessing she doesn’t, and I’m guessing an RSS link is likely.
Hamid on Rai. What could go wrong with a Democratic hate sandwich like that?
Will they be fired or promoted? Only Braindead Biden knows.
Somebody call up his office and ask them.
Anybody ask Ilhan Omar or Keith Ellison yet for reaction?
I didn’t think so.
They might get beheaded.
Don’t we already have those on the Supreme Court?

No surprise, except for the Muslim ban.
