This week, during Russell Vought’s confirmation hearing for the White House Budget Director role, Bernie Sanders blasted the nominee for an article he wrote where he claims Muslims “do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his Son, and they stand condemned.”
“It is hateful,” Sanders said. “It is Islamophobic. And it is an insult to over a billion Muslims throughout the world.”
According to Article VI of the Constitution, “No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” Sanders, however, seemed to directly contradict this article via his line of questioning and reasoning he gave for opposing the nominee.
“Absolutely not. I’m a Christian and I believe in a Christian set of principles based on my faith,” Vought said. “That post, as I stated in the questionnaire to this committee, was to defend my alma mater, Wheaton College, a Christian school that has a statement of faith that includes the centrality of Jesus Christ for Salvation.”
It should come as no surprise that Sanders plans to oppose Vought’s nomination. But don’t put too much faith in Sanders’ official reasoning. He has already proven that he will do anything to oppose Trump and his nominees.
