Prepare the fainting couches: Sarah Huckabee Sanders tells New Yorker, 'I believe in the Bible'

We’re so confused. After a major child sex abuse scandal was exposed, the mainstream media circled the wagons around Pope Francis, who was said to be busy preaching about climate change and the need to keep those plastic straws out of the oceans.

Then the Emmys were broadcast Monday night, and host Michael Che made a big deal about how the only white people who thank Jesus are “Republicans and ex-crackheads.” So liberal white celebrities don’t thank Jesus enough? That’s an odd take.

But liberals like Bill Clinton hanging out near notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan? Nothing that can’t be fixed by cropping the photo.

But what about White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Now, her claim to be a Christian just can’t be overlooked. The New Yorker looked into her religious background and found she attends a D.C. church that is an affiliate of Hillsong.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders attends a D.C. church that is an aﬃliate of Hillsong, the global megachurch that teaches creationism and intelligent design. Sanders, asked if she shared these views, said, “I believe in the Bible.” https://t.co/ASibdWueke pic.twitter.com/hCV2icGEFD

If only Huckabee Sanders were a Hollywood celebrity studying Scientology, there’d be nothing to talk about. But — gasp — she goes to a church that teaches intelligent design. And all she has to say for herself is she believes in the Bible.

1. Hillsong has such great music, though

2. The religious beliefs of a press secretary are seriously no one's business or concern. If a press secretary worshipped horse dung on a pogo stick it would make no difference to anyone or anything. https://t.co/GOHfMEB2wE

When people ask “how can evangelicals support Trump?” remember this article. It’s because “the left” attacks them for their beliefs and makes ABSOLUTELY ZERO attempt to make room for them in their party. Why join a party that calls you stupid for your orthodox theology? https://t.co/YNkEcmx69r

She attends a church that teaches from a holy book? The BIBLE even?? Why.. this is outrageous!
Trump is going to be President forever.

So… she goes to a church that teaches stuff from the Bible?

This is why:

1] You're increasingly being considered a joke
2] We can't have nice things
3] You got Trump
4] You'll get him again in 2020

Let me let you in on something clowns… if you believe the Bible, you believe in creationism and intelligent design. If a church isn’t teaching that, then that’s not a church faithful to God or the Bible. Good day. https://t.co/GIKgH8eBhp

Yep, Barrett would have sailed through confirmation.

Oh yes please, do Keith Ellison's mosque next.

Or check into those sexual abuse allegations against him — the ones reported to authorities and backed up with evidence. We’re good either way.

bashing a mosque? they'd be fired in less than 24hours.

You think they'd get 24 hours?

You sweet innocent kid.
