“It’s just repugnant to any sense of decency, any sense of our common heritage and our common belief that the government needs to not weigh in on doctrinal disputes between various religious denominations,” #MikeLee, the MAGA Republican Senator for #Utah said www.thedailybeast.com/republicans-...

Republicans Rage at Pentagon Pete Over ‘Repugnant’ Religion Move

The self-declared “Secretary of War” has angered Mormons by suggesting that the Defense Department no longer considers LDS part of the Christian faith.

"The roster, used by the Chaplain Corps, no longer excludes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from those identified as Christian faiths, as was the case in a version released Friday. That’s because the directory no longer categorizes any faith groups as Christian."

So... the #LDS church is still powerful enough to affect some change, but not enough to mean it isn't going to change in the future when their power has been worn away more.

This is what fascism does. Ultimately, everyone is vulnerable to the rabid need for more victims to feed the hate. Don't like it, #MikeLee? #JohnCurtis? Then stop supporting the fascists. Stop feeding them victims.

#Trans people are people. #Immigrants and refugees are people. All people have the same inalienable human rights. That doesn't change because you like them or not. That doesn't change because they are or are not citizens.

If you target other people to lose their rights, your own rights are then vulnerable. We are only free when all of us are free.

Who’s Christian? After pushback, proselytizing from LDS lawmakers, Pentagon revises its list of religions.

Latter-day Saints are still not included on the Defense Department’s “Christian list.” But neither is any other church.

Lee’s social media post also included an animated image depicting a child being sacrificed to an ancient deity — a post that left several onlookers appalled.

“Nothing to see here, just a Republican Senator accusing a Democratic Senate candidate of child sacrifice,” wrote journalist and former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan on Friday. “But, hey, don’t you dare criticize [President Donald] Trump as that could lead to political violence.””

Sen. Mike Lee Faces Criticism for Accusing Texas Democratic Candidate of Child Sacrifice

Senator Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah and chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, faced widespread criticism after making inflammatory claims against James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Texas. In response to a simple campaign post promoting Talarico as someone who prioritizes voters, Lee tweeted that Talarico would put people 'first… on the altar to Moloch,' referencing the ancient deity associated with child sacrifice. The post included an animated image depicting a child being sacrificed, which drew shock and condemnation from journalists and commentators. Critics pointed out the hypocrisy of Lee's remarks given the GOP’s frequent warnings against inflammatory rhetoric and political violence. Journalist Mehdi Hasan sarcastically noted the double standard regarding criticism of President Trump versus other political figures. Columnists and social media observers described Lee's statements as extreme and lunatic-like, noting that there appeared to be no accountability for such accusations. The controversy reflects the increasingly heated and sensationalized political climate surrounding the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.
