If you thought progressives don’t hold Christians in contempt, than you need to take a gander at Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas). In a U.S. House Homeland Security Committee hearing on radicalization of Muslims, the honorable congresswoman tried to draw parallels between anti-abortion activist (Christians) and the followers of the religion of peace. CNSNews reports the following exchange:
Jackson Lee cited the case of Verne Jay Merrell, one of three men described by prosecutors as “extremist” and “paramilitary,” who was sentenced to life in prison for setting off bombs near a Spokane, Washington, newspaper office and an abortion clinic.
