Full title: Knights of Columbus issue a pitch-perfect response to the anti-Catholic bigotry to Senators Hirono and Harris
Readers of American Thinker ( here, here, and here) are familiar with the appalling religious test for office that seems to be lurking in the questions submitted in writing to a nominee for a federal judgeship by Senators Hirono and Harris. In sum:
In a series of questions sent to Buescher, Hirono asked whether his membership in the Knights of Columbus would prevent him from hearing cases "fairly and impartially" and, if confirmed, whether he would end his membership in the organization.
"The Knights of Columbus has taken a number of extreme positions," Hirono said in the questionnaire. "For example, it was reportedly one of the top contributors to California's Proposition 8 campaign to ban same-sex marriage."
Harris meantime, in her questions to the nominee, called the Knights of Columbus "an all-male society" and asked the Nebraska lawyer if he was aware that the group was anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage when he joined[.]
The Knights have responded with dignity, honor, and (best of all) an open hand. Hat tip to Paul Mirengoff for bringing their open letter to my attention. I doubt that either senator is capable of shame, but if they were, they would surely be resolving to leave this bigotry behind in 2019.
Here is what the local Capitol District, Washington, D.C. chapter of the Knights wrote:

There is no lower form of life than Sen Hirono! (even Mika)
I tend to agree but several are running a close second, including Kamala Harris.

But Kamala Harris is going to jail!
Marxists worship Government, power, and themselves. They kill those that disagree with them. Some quick, others slowly.

Just like many other terms, BIGOTRY has been somewhat diluted and its commonly accepted understanding today is only a mere caracture of its former meaning.
When we let the language slide along with it slides the culture and this slide began over fifty years ago.

Missed that.
Elegantly put!
Another good point.
The Knights are great.
Harris and Hirono are worthless hags.
Not the point of the response - it was to counter the lies she tried to implant in the heads of the people and it was done in a Biblical-approved manner....being kind to those who asperse you is "like pouring hot coals over their heads" - whether they realize it or not....if nothing else, for those of us who feel like you do about Hirono, it pisses her off....
A preview of the Barr hearings
No Hirono, Harris, and Booker deserve to be expelled from the Senate for creating a RELIGIOUS test for government employees. That is strictly unconstitutional.
Despite what the Senators have suggested, same-sex marriage and abortion are the extreme positions not those of the Knights of Columbus opposing those extremes. The Knights were smart not to directly address those views.
