Senator Bernie Sanders, the runner-up for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, said while grilling a Trump budget appointee that Christians who believe in the exclusivity of Christ aren’t the kind of people “this country is supposed to be about.” As Emma Green at The Atlantic observed, this functions as a religious test for office, which is prohibited by Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.
Our hosts also tackle news of a biologically male transgender athlete in Connecticut who beat high school girls at the state track championship. John and Ed issue a challenge to parents to speak up graciously, rather than remain silent when their daughters are unfairly pitted against men in the name of transgender ideology.
