Republican Congressman ‘Insulted’ By Obama’s Pitch For Religious Freedom
Rep. Steve Southerland of Florida is “insulted” and “shocked” by the things President Obama said at the National Prayer Breakfast.
…Southerland…told Family Research Council president Tony Perkins on Washington Watch last week that he was “stunned” and “shocked” by the president’s speech and was angry that Obama would “insult those who really believe” in the freedom of religion — like him.
Southerland argued that Obama is trying to “trivialize our deeply held beliefs by making statements that are so contrary to his actions and those of his administration.” “It’s the ultimate disrespect,” he said.
