Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy asserted on Sunday that Americans did not have Constitutional rights preventing religion from being imposed upon them.
During a Fox News Sunday discussion about recent baptisms of students at Auburn University, co-host Pete Hegseth reported that the Freedom From Religion group was behind a lawsuit against the university.
“It’s not in the constitution!” Campos-Duffy interrupted.
“As Rachel points out, it’s freedom of religion, not freedom from religion,” Hegseth agreed. “So they’re an anti-faith, anti-Christian group.”
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says “that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise,” according to the White House website.
So these fucking tyrants think they’re so cunning by changing the word “of” to the word “from” do they? It’s not really surprising they said it considering their entire schtick is being inflammatory and divisive. They’ll happily feed any lie to their viewers as long as it keeps them riled up. I seriously don’t understand how their viewers have the energy to stay confrontational and angry 100% of the time. It’ll be interesting to see if the rate of death by heart attack and stroke is considerably higher at a younger age as all these FOX news fans continue aging. Stress is a real killer, and FOX news pumps out stress 24/7.
The words “freedom of religion” are not even in the Constitution. The actual wording is more precise and if this Fox News host could read they would be very upset by what it said.
