Republican Chair Says Only Christians Should Be Elected to Government
Kandiss Taylor, the Republican chair of Georgia's 1st congressional district, said on her Jesus, Guns, & Babies show that "we shouldn't be electing anyone in government...who isn't Christian."
In the episode streamed on Rumble on August 17, she told Erik Corcoran, founder of Businesses for Liberty, that "The Constitution is founded on common law; common law comes out of the Bible," adding that the entire premise of the United States' governing rules and structure is related to Jesus and God.
"You can't separate the two," she said of common law and the Bible. She continued: "The idea behind the whole document was that the church runs the state. The church and we the people. We are the church...and so we run the state. But the state, the government, has no control over the church."
Taylor added, "And everybody is like, 'Then you gotta let Satanists come in, and you gotta let witches come in, and you've gotta let Muslims and Hindus.' No, no, we don't.
"I don't have to give you 'freedom' of religion."
I don't need anything from you, Kandiss. I have my constitutional freedom already.
