CTTW: "Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?"..."You're telling me that's in the first Amendment?!"

They say that in a fool's paradise, ignorance is blis.

Christine must be pretty blissed out then.

This takes the cake. She really doesn't know what's in the first amendment.
"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion"
That may be a slight misquote on my part, because I cited it from memory!
Like every American should be able to.
Especially Senate candidates.

This is why she is so dangerous. She doesn't just make up her own science facts, and constantly make up new lies and fantasies about her supposed life experiences, she makes up her own idea of what the constitution says. These Tea Party Republican candidates say they are all about the constitution, and they are ready to strip our society of everything not explicitly mentioned in the document, like public schools, the minimum wage, desegregation, women's rights etcetera, but they don't even bother to read the first freaking Amendment for gosh sakes!!!!



Now don't let her campaign spin this after the fact, she is not making some "clever" tired old theocratic point about how the words "separation of church and state" do not appear in the constitution, just watch the last minute of this clip again. During one of the few moments in which CTTW is not blatantly interrupting and talking over him, he quotes the "establishment clause" as it's called, pretty much word for word and she says repeatedly "That's in the first Amendment? You're telling me that's in the first Amendment?!"

Don't let her compulsive lying deceive you, watch this clip over and over until you are sure. She clearly did not know about the establishment clause. She's so brainwashed by extremist right wing ideas about letting one kind of religion run our country that she hasn't bothered to read the darned constitution herself. This is why memorizing talking points hurt you when you don't get an education or do in depth research for yourself.
