Former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Friday that Sen. Kamala Harris is “the most openly anti-Catholic bigot to be on a national ticket in modern times.”

Citing Harris’s public record of anti-Catholic activism, Gingrich writes that her bigotry against Catholics is “a perfect example of the modern radical left’s ideology of ‘intolerant tolerance.’”

“She is openly anti-Catholic in confirming federal judges, wanting to prosecute the Little Sisters of the Poor, closing Catholic Hospitals who don’t join her union allies, and favoring tax paid abortion up until birth,” Gingrich states.

Joining the growing number of voices calling out Joe Biden’s running mate for her anti-Catholicism, Gingrich declares that the “most explicit example of Sen. Harris’s anti-Catholic bigotry was her treatment of now-US District Court Judge Brian Buescher during his confirmation hearings.”

As Michael Gerson wrote in an op-ed Friday in the Washington Post , Harris posed a series of “inappropriate questions” to federal district court nominee Brian Buescher suggesting that being a member of the Knights of Columbus was “disqualifying for the federal bench.”

“Harris was effectively treating membership in a distinctly Catholic organization as if it were allegiance to a hate group,” . . . .

. . . According to the former Speaker, Harris’s religious intolerance is particularly significant because in two years she could be the next U.S. president.

Harris’s “vigorous support for prosecuting the Little Sisters of the Poor” is further testimony to her anti-Catholic animus, Gingrich declares, noting that Biden and Harris “have said they would seek to bring the nuns back to court to force the organization to cover the cost of insuring contraceptives and abortion . . .

. . . Gingrich suggests that Harris’s openly anti-Catholic bias — which has continued unchecked by her fellow Democrats — will likely spawn further harassment “as other anti-Catholics draw encouragement from her bigotry . . .

. . . Biden’s choice of Harris as his running mate “says a lot about the strength of his own Catholic background under the pressure of the atheist and anti-religious left,” Gingrich observes.

But she did not say that. The “suggestion” is in the ear of the listener, hearing what they want to hear. All she did was ask if he would uphold the law of the land as a judge even if that law was in conflict with the views of the K of C.

Yes I guess that’s why even the LA Times chimed in against her position:

Not the LA Times. Not the Wa-Po. Not the editorial boards.

An op-ed, short for “opposite the editorial page”, is a written prose piece typically published by a newspaper or magazine which expresses the opinion of an author usually not affiliated with the publication’s editorial board. (bolding mine).

Additionally, it is said she sent a bunch of people, sounds like a lot of people of color, to prison for long prison terms.
 
The ancestors of a lot of Americans were slave-owners. Your point?
 
Gingrich was part of the crew who prevented any Catholic priest from serving as chaplain of the House of Representatives until about 2000. His comments do not make sense.

Breitbart prints nonsense.
 
Newt Gingrich is a real winner here folks.

  1. Married to Jackie Battley (1962 to 1981)
  2. Cheated on her with numerous women
  3. Visited Jackie(uterine cancer) in Hospital to talk about a divorce
  4. Said Jackie is not pretty or young enough to be President’s wife
  5. Judge Ordered more alimony and Newt failed to pay.
  6. Married to Marianne Ginther (1981 to 2000) six months after divorcing Jackie
  7. Ask Marianne if they could have an “Open Marriage”
  8. Had an affair with Callista Bisek in 1993
  9. He was having this affair while leading the impeachment against President Bill Clinton
  10. Filed for divorce from Marianne in 1999 a few months after she was diagnoseed with Multiple Sclerosis
  11. Married Callista Bisek ( 2000 to Present ) 4 months after divorcing Marianne
 
Which has to get by their editors.

It is an anti-Catholic religious litmus test by Kamala alright.

Gingrich is not a saint or anything, but he’s not on the presidential ticket.
I believe his most obvious, egregious sins are 20+ years in the past, and you wouldn’t want to gossip or denigrate a fellow Catholic would you?
I think some people call this “what about-ism”.

Is this something new in the US? Read some history of the Catholic Church in America. Practically non-existent before 1850.

No, anti-catholic bigotry is not new. Does that make it okay? By someone on the presidential ticket?

Are you serious?

Am I missing what you were talking about?

Catholicism was outlawed in 12 of the 13 colonies.
 
Newt Gingrich is the source
So it is about him as well.
This is about a man that lives in a glass house should not be throwing stones.

Newt had his own anti-Catholic shenanigans.

Op-ed articles are edited for being “not too far out”. But the fact that editors approve an article for and op-ed is not an endorsement of all the positions of that author. Views of the paper itself as expressed by the combined decision of the editors is a different matter.
