    I’m reasonably certain that I can count on one hand the number of times Hawley or his GOP ilk have ever set foot in a church outside of a planned photo op.

      stats say a lot of the MAGA crowd really are churchgoers, its just the ones they go to are insane.

        Oh no doubt. In a way, that’s entirely my point.

        These GOP politicians don’t give a shit about “christian values”. They just lean hard into it in order to capture that voting block.
