GOP Senators Launch Modern Inquisition Against Dem Candidate– crooksandliars.com

Sen Ted Cruz and Sen. Roger Marshall called a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate a heretic. The candidate they attacked is a pastor in a United Methodist Church. Cruz and Marshall target Adam Hamilton, the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Kansas. Media outlet Kansas.com explains the reason for the aggressive attack.

“Marshall finds himself facing something he’s never seen before, an opponent with a decent chance of actually beating him, the Rev. Adam Hamilton.”

Less than a week after winning his primary, the GOP senators are already launching what some call a modern-day Spanish Inquisition. For those who may not be versed in the horrors of religious persecution, the Spanish Inquisition was a dark period in history known for extreme religious fanaticism, harsh intolerance of different beliefs, and strict demands for ideological purity.

Does that sound familiar? It should because it’s the type of religious extremism the GOP is trying to implement in America.

“Marshall and Cruz have appointed themselves The Kansas Inquisition…attacking mainstream Christian beliefs for lacking the zealotry and bigotry they associate with Christ’s ministry and message on Earth.”
