Brian Schweitzer's Reprehensible Comments
Friday, April 20, 2012
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, a Democrat, made absolutely reprehensible comments yesterday regarding Mitt Romney's Mormon faith. We've seen repeated attacks this election year against Romney's Mormonism from GOP figures and conservative religious leaders - including Robert Jeffress who I called out in a debate on FOX News Live last summer - but this is the first attack that I'm aware of by a mainstream Democrat. The Obama campaign, as Politico notes, "denounced the comments, and his team has declared Romney's religion off limits." That's what I expect from this president. Religious bigitory has no place in this campaign.
