Religious Discrimination Rampant Among The Activist “Progressive” Left

April 21, 2017

Religious discrimination is at an all-time high within the ranks of the activist left.

So when Congressman Jack Bergman opened a town hall in prayer, it was sadly unsurprisingly met with the boos and chants of liberal activists.

This continued display of unacceptable behavior is not only disrespectful to those practicing the Christian faith, but it is discriminatory.

Via Independent Journal Review:

John W. “Jack” Bergman (R-MI) has been representing Michigan’s 1st Congressional District since 2016. A retired 3-Star (Lieutenant) General in the U.S. Marine Corps, Bergman owns the distinction of being the highest-ranking military officer ever to serve in Congress.

In addition to his military service, Bergman has flown commercial airplanes for Northwest and boasts on his social media pages that he is the proud grandfather to eight grandchildren.

Bergman is also a devout Christian — something he has never been shy about expressing to his constituents — so it wasn’t at all strange that, during a town hall in Gaylord, he invited Dr. Derek Hagland (Assistant Pastor at Grace Baptist Church) to open with a prayer.

But as a spokesperson for Rep. Bergman told Independent Journal Review, that’s when the trouble began …

A small group of Democratic activists — several wearing the pink “pussy hats” that were made popular during recent protests — interrupted the prayer, shouting “separation of church and state!”

The shouting continued throughout the prayer, tapering off only as the pastor said “Amen.”

The town hall held Wednesday evening was live-streamed, and had opened with prayer — a fact that may have inspired the activists to come out and protest Thursday’s event.
