Trump applauds Catholic group’s multi-million anti-Harris campaign appealing to Church faithful:

Trump has acutely targeted Catholics and religious Jews in his 2024 presidential campaign

Former president and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is continuing his campaign to cement further Catholic support — warning that the faith is being targeted by the federal government.

Trump posted a message to his proprietary social media outlet Truth Social on Wednesday cheering on a recent campaign launched against Vice President Kamala Harris on behalf of Catholic voters.

“A large group of Catholics is launching a major Political Campaign against Crazy Kamala Harris. FINALLY! Catholics are literally being persecuted by this Wack Job, just ask the Knights of Columbus,” Trump wrote.

“They say that she is the most Anti-Catholic person ever to run for high office in the U.S,” the former president continued. “This respected group wants ALL CATHOLICS TO VOTE AGAINST KAMALA, and they are 100% correct.”

Trump was referencing a multimillion-dollar campaign launched by CatholicVote — the largest Catholic political activism group in the United States.

The group recently launched a multimillion-dollar campaign in heavily Catholic swing states to try to defeat Harris’ bid for the White House.

CatholicVote amplified Trump via social media platform X, thanking the former president for “bringing attention to our campaign.”

“We’re proud to expose Kamala’s vile hatred of Catholics,” CatholicVote wrote. “Having a President who unapologetically brings this hatred to light is needed to combat religious bigotry.”

Not long after, Trump followed up with a more explicit endorsement, specifically naming CatholicVote and clarifying his remarks about the Knights of Columbus.

“CatholicVote.org is doing GREAT work getting Voters to the Polls — All Catholics should join this incredible cause! Crazy Kamala Harris is anti-Catholic,” Trump wrote later on Tuesday. “She attacked a Judicial Nominee for being a member of the Highly Respected Knights of Columbus! There should NEVER be a Religious Test for serving our Country. IN GOD WE TRUST!” —>READ MORE HERE

Kamala Harris Would Be the Most Anti-Catholic President in American History:

In recent months, political operatives and interest groups on both sides of the aisle have been working quietly behind the scenes to win over one of the most crucial—yet also one of the most under-appreciated—voter demographics that will be key to winning the White House this November: American Catholics. But the apparent ascension of Kamala Harris to the top of her party’s ticket makes it even more unlikely that Democrats can make inroads with this group that has leaned right in recent cycles.

Much as he has throughout his political career, Joe Biden leaned heavily into his self-proclaimed devout Catholic faith during his 2020 presidential campaign. However, Biden has removed all doubt about his administration’s hostility toward believers and core tenets of the Catholic faith throughout his presidency – most notably through his outspoken support for abortion, his public celebration of radical transgender ideology, and his Department of Justice repeatedly targeting Catholics as “violent extremists.”

The Biden-Harris administration’s anti-Catholic bigotry was also seen with the nomination and appointment of Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who infamously led progressives’ longstanding efforts to force the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic religious order, to violate their religious precepts and pay for birth control.

Harris, as Biden’s vice president, owns this record as well – and has her own troubling history of anti-Catholic bias. As Catholics prepare to head to the polls this Election Day, they should be aware of precisely how dangerous a Harris presidency would be for their faith, their values, and their freedom to worship.

Among the most egregious examples of Harris’s anti-Catholic bigotry came during a 2018 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, when then-Senator Harris strongly insinuated that American Catholics are not fit to serve as federal judges. When questioning Brian Buescher, a nominee to be a judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska, Harris pointed to his membership in the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal and charitable organization, as problematic, condemning the organization’s (and the Church’s) mainstream Christian views as extremist.

“Since 1993, you have been a member of the Knights of Columbus, an all-male society comprised primarily of Catholic men,” Harris stated pointedly. “In 2016, Carl Anderson, leader of the Knights of Columbus, described abortion as ‘a legal regime that has resulted in more than 40 million deaths.’ Mr. Anderson went on to say that ‘abortion is the killing of the innocent on a massive scale.’ Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman’s right to choose when you joined the organization?” —>READ MORE HERE
