Ryan sold his final ounce of political capital to force a man who is widely known and respected for his ability to treat people of all faiths out of his job. I know it sounds wrong but I detest so much of what Evangelicals in this country stand for. I detest their blatant hypocrisy. I detest a lot of their ministers living like fucking celebrities and having their congregations subsidize that lifestyle. I detest their homophobia and attacks on those who don’t share their views. I detest them playing victim over things like same sex marriage being legal. I detest their shaming of liberals for embracing our LGBT and non-Christian friends while worshipping Trump But most of all, I detest their politicization of religion as a tool to attack people.

Nope — my guess is that most Republicans in Congress were offended by a chaplain who was not in support of the “Prosperity Gospel”. The non-Catholic Republicans were offended by a Catholic holding the post. Ryan never has any political capital with the Democrats.
