August 14, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Set aside the question of Senator Kamala Harris’s likability. (She’s not, as her disgraceful treatment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court conclusively proved.)
Ignore the fact that her voting record in the Senate, according to GovTrack.us, is to the left of socialist Bernie Sanders. (I did not think that this was even possible until I looked it up.)
Defer – for the moment – questions about her support for open borders, Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, free college, gun confiscation, and free abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy. (I know this is difficult, but try.)
Just ask yourself that following question: Is Joe Biden’s newly-minted vice presidential pick an anti-Catholic bigot?
There is evidence that she is.
Brian Buescher, who is a practicing Roman Catholic, was nominated by President Trump to be a district judge in Nebraska. When he came before the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing at the end of 2018, Kamala Harris was ready for him. She sent him a list of questions the import of which was to suggest that he was unqualified to serve on the bench because of his membership in the Knights of Columbus. Here’s one of her winners:
Since 1993, you have been a member of the Knights of Columbus, an all-male society comprised primarily of Catholic men. In 2016, Carl Anderson, leader of the Knights of Columbus, described abortion as “a legal regime that has resulted in more than 40 million deaths.” Mr. Anderson went on to say that “abortion is the killing of the innocent on a massive scale.” Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman’s right to choose when you joined the organization?
Her other questions included, “Have you ever, in any way, assisted with or contributed to advocacy against women’s reproductive rights?” and “Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed marriage equality [sic] when you joined the organization?”
Senator Harris, who may wind up being one heartbeat away from the presidency, was suggesting that Buescher’s involvement with a Catholic men’s group that has millions of members and has performed countless acts of charity over its century-long existence made him unqualified to sit on the bench.
Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Harris’ colleague on the Judiciary Committee, carried this line of questioning even further. She actually asked Buescher, “Do you intend to end your membership with this organization to avoid any appearance of bias?”
The implication, again, was that she could not, and would not, vote for anyone who was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
The above episode has been widely and properly remarked upon as an instance of anti-Catholic bigotry, including by Archbishop Charles Chaput. But what hasn’t received nearly as much attention as it should have is what followed.
Senator Ben Sasse, who is from Judge Buescher’s home state of Nebraska, stood up on the Senate floor and roundly condemned Harris’ effort to impose religious tests on federal officials as a violation of religious liberty. He then introduced Senate Resolution 19:
Expressing …. the sense of the Senate that disqualifying a nominee to federal office on the basis of membership in the Knights of Columbus violates Clause 3 of Article 6 of the Constitution of the United States which establishes that Senators shall be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution and “no religious test shall ever be required as qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
Sasse’s Resolution – a direct rebuke of Kamala Harris’ anti-Catholic questioning of Judge Buescher – was passed on January 16, 2018 without amendment or debate by unanimous consent.
In other words, not a single one of Harris’ Democratic colleagues spoke up in her defense. She was abandoned by one and all.
The California Senator wasn’t called out by name, of course. That kind of public opprobrium is reserved for Republicans.
But after this stinging rebuke, Harris never directly brought up the issue of religion again in subsequent confirmation hearings.
Once was more than enough, however. We learned what Harris really thinks about the Catholic faith and its teachings. Her attack on Judge Buescher’s faith – and her subsequent rebuke by the entire U.S. Senate – has revealed for all time that she is the most bigoted of all U.S. Senators.
Joe Biden pitches himself to voters as a devout Catholic, but has picked as a running mate the biggest anti-Catholic bigot in the U.S. Senate.
In other words, not a single one of Harris’ Democratic colleagues spoke up in her defense. She was abandoned by one and all.

Joe is like pelosi - a phony Catholic who thinks it’s OK to promote abortion and claim to be Catholic.
Biden is about as Catholic as the ImPopester.
A Democrat Christian = An oxymoron
We are witnessing end-times stuff, folks . . .not setting a date for Jesus’ return but think about it . . . .God is in charge of everyone’s next breath. https://thereishopeinjesus.com/
True. I don’t see Harris, someone who openly hates Catholics, as being worse than Pelosi and Biden, who pretend to embrace Catholicism but have done much more damage than Harris can even dream of.
He’s been good buds with KKK members in the Senate, so he can be buds with someone from the new KKK, the one and only KKKamala Harris.
Kamala Harris Sponsored Bill to FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports<>

Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would force public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams. . In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls,..
HERE’S HOW THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE Congressional DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT STUFF LIKE THIS and why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem Congress
Democrats weren’t happy with his votes against abortion and on being the only democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports.
Those who live in Chicago already voted at their local public library. But in the reshaped 3rd Congressional district Daniel Lipinski lost because of redistricting. Which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd in a district that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway Wards which were reliable Dan’s father William O Lipinski supporters. But since most had areas with hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to Gutieriez’s district. Those results are posted below which actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.
