Fox News reports:

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, appeared to accuse fellow Democrats of stoking “religious bigotry” this week for their questioning of a Trump judicial pick’s Knights of Columbus membership.

“While I oppose the nomination of Brian Buescher to the U.S. District Court in Nebraska, I stand strongly against those who are fomenting religious bigotry, citing as disqualifiers Buescher’s Catholicism and his affiliation with the Knights of Columbus,” Gabbard said in an op-ed for The Hill on Tuesday.

Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, raised concerns about lawyer Buescher’s membership in the Catholic organization as part of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s review of his nomination by President Trump to sit on the U.S. District Court in Nebraska.

To the Democrats, simply being a member of a Christian volunteer organization is enough of a reason to bar someone from a judicial appointment.

But this anti-Christian assault is nothing new.

Tom Perez, the Chairman of the Democratic Party, said at a liberal summit that Democrats need to “penetrate” the Christian church to sway voters from their pastors' conservative political messages.

This is certainly not the level of persecution being leveled at believers in some parts of the world, but it is a precursor to that kind of anti-Christian vitriol. If people of faith in Christ do not stand against this kind of bias, it will escalate.
