Americans United - Trump Endangers National Security, and the Religious Right Just Yawns
Rob Boston of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State points out the Religious Right’s incredible hypocrisy and lack of concern for the well being of the American people, when it comes to the actions of Donald Trump. I challenge any one who supports these people and their agenda to discredit what Boston wrote.
Let’s engage in a thought experiment: Pretend that it’s May of 2009, and Barack Obama, who has been president for a few months, has just shared some highly classified intelligence with the Russians.
