Pagan communist [score]Bernie Sanders[/score] would never talk in this angry, hateful, intolerant, and bigoted manner to a Muslim.

During the Senate confirmation hearing of Trump deputy budget director nominee Russell Vought on Wednesday, Soviet-style socialist Bernie Sanders defended Islam and vehemently attacked Vought for Christian beliefs he’d expressed in a January 2016 article in The Resurgent about Wheaton College and the Preservation of Theological Clarity.

Vought, who attended Wheaton — a Christian college — wrote the piece in opposition to Dr. Larycia Hawkins’ controversial comments seeking solidarity with Muslims and her argument that Christians “worship the same God,” an absurd assertion for any Christian to be making.

Vought wrote, quoting scripture from The Holy Bible:

“Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology. They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his Son, and they stand condemned. In John 8:19, ‘Jesus answered, ‘You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.’ In Luke 10:16, Jesus says, ‘The one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.” And in John 3:18, Jesus says, ‘Whoever believes in [the Son] is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.'”

Bernie Sanders, who honeymooned in the Soviet Union when it was a communist country and an enemy of America during the Cold War (but I’m not saying he’s a subversive or anything, wink, wink) — a country that outlawed Christianity — took issue with Vought’s writing, calling it “Islamophobic,” a made-up term to silence and vilify those critical of Islam.

“Absolutely not,” Vought replied to the “Islamaphobic” smear. “I’m a Christian, and I believe in a Christian set of principles based on my faith. That post … 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.”

When Vought repeatedly and politely had to explain this to the grouchy old codger, Senator Sanders went through the roof, shouting, “I know you’re a Christian!”

Maybe Bernie Sanders should read some George Washington and get in touch with what American principles, beliefs, traditions, and culture. Christian-bashing is en vogue for America-hating leftists like Bernie Sanders so he’ll get away with his hate. His god is the government, or maybe it’s Lenin, Stalin or Karl Marx.

It’s really a shame that Vought was so polite and didn’t push back by calling Sanders “Christianphobic.” How Sanders takes an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and then spends every waking minute between naps destroying the Constitution is beyond me. But that’s not on him. It’s on the dupes and useful idiots who voted for him. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Christians are being slaughtered around the globe for their faith in Jesus Christ. We know whose side Uncle Bernie is on. Maybe Bernie should change his slogan from “Feel the Bern” to “Feel the Hate” or “Feel the Bigotry.”
