The following comes from a Dec. 27 story in the Washington Examiner.
Potential Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., hasn’t responded to an invitation to plunge into a pool of ice water to raise money for the D.C. Special Olympics in February.
She was publicly invited to attend last week by the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic charity group she recently criticized as extreme. The 136-year-old group invited Harris and Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, to participate in the popular D.C. fundraiser after the senators described the organization earlier this month as having “extreme positions” and having “opposed a woman’s right to choose.”
In a Dec. 22 letter to the senators, the Knights of Columbus’s Capitol Hill chapter defended the organization and extended an invitation for Harris and Hirono to get involved in its charitable activities.
The Knights of Columbus came under fire from Harris and Hirono in questions they sent to federal court judicial nominee Brian Buescher in early December. Hirono claimed the organization, which Buescher has belonged to since he was 18, “has taken a number of extreme positions,” such as opposing gay marriage in 2008.
Harris quizzed Buescher on whether he agreed with Knight’s of Columbus’s leader’s opposition to abortion and asked if Buescher was “aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman’s right to choose when you joined the organization?”
You have to understand, Democrats don’t care about the truth. They just care about scoring debate points and media soundbite points. They say whatever they think will rile up their leftist base in outrage.
A little friendly repartee may tone down the rhetoric on both sides.
Politicians as Sen. Kamala Harris, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and many others — are immoral! The rights of women and homosexuals should be defended– but NOT the false “rights” of a woman to kill her unwanted child– nor the false “rights” of gays to “marry” and engage in immoral sex perversions! America must be led back to her original Christian foundations! America should always praise and support her good religious and civic groups, such as the Knights of Columbus!
Good move by the Knights. I can’t print here the words of revulsion I feel for Harris and Hirono. Harris for a long time; Hirono since first observing her behavior during the Kavanaugh hearings.
I left a message on Harris’ website re her attack on KofC. She hasn’t responded to me either. Incidentally, anyone can goggle Kamala Harris’ website and look for “contact button” and leave your message.
ask Harris if being Catholic we lose our Constitutional rights
Give Senator Harris time to respond. Dec 22 was a Saturday. Dec 24 & 25 were Federal holidays. January 1 is also a holiday. So perhaps the ‘clock’ should start Jan 2, with a calendar week after before claiming no response. I doubt this on the top of her ‘to do’ list.
I often ask myself how so many decent well meaning people of faith could have voted for a thrice married, serially adulterous, narcissistic conman who consistently spouted bigotry, lies and hate. I have continued to wonder how people can continue to support him despite profoundly un-Christian actions and policies that are in direct contradiction to gospel values and the social teaching of the Catholic Church. The answer, I think, is senators like Kamala Harris. She, and people like her, give Catholics no choice between the Republicans and a Democratic Party that is seen as a party of radical pro-abortionism , militant secularism and hatred for the Catholic faith. There are still Democrats who have not fallen into this, such as the…
Because the only other choice was Hillary. Really, you ask yourself those questions that have obvious answers?
Slavery of Blacks was once legal in America– with evil, immoral laws, protecting the “rights” of sinful slave owners– supported by evil politicians! Pres. Abraham Lincoln gave his life, to end slavery! We must seek to end legalized sins in our era– and help America return to her original Christian foundations– with Christ leading us to His Victory!
and everyone should know that Black babies are being killed daily.
Com’ on Kamala, it should be great fun. Hang’ with those in need.
Well, they do oppose a woman’s “right” to choose to kill a baby. Most people do.
Catholic Democrats who support abortion (killing of the innocence) should be denounced. Our pope and Bishops should take a stand.
October 2, 2019 – This entire matter with Kamala Harris’ & Mazie Hirono’s anti-Catholic display has not been soundly rejected by any Democrat. It is safe to conclude that all of their colleagues approve of it. Anti-Catholicism and progressivism’s anti-Semitism Such behavior toward a Muslim such as membership in The Fruit of Islam would be met with histrionic horror and hysteria.
Anti-Catholicism has been lurking just below the surface in the Democratic Party. This proves it.
