The latest on the potential nomination of Amy Coney Barrett is that all of the anti-Catholic bigotry that’s out there really doesn’t exist because Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Sonia Sotomayor are Catholics and it’s just Republicans saying these things anyway:

And Wear correctly notes that this doesn’t even fit that show anyway:
Missed the season where Elizabeth Moss was trained and supported by the men of Gilead to be leading jurist

So, is Joe Biden in the clear?
Thankfully, Biden has set himself apart from this nonsense
