NC Republican reveals his ‘primary mission’ as congressman: ‘We’re here as emissaries for Christ’
A North Carolina Republican told a religious gathering that his “primary mission” as a congressman was to promote the Gospel of Christ.
Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC) appeared last week alongside Reps. Trent Franks (R-AZ) and Louie Gohmert (R-TX) at the weeklong “Celebrate America” revival meeting in Washington, D.C., reported Right Wing Watch.
“The most important message that needs to be heard in this city is the Gospel and love of Christ,” Pittenger said. “This transforms lives.”
The congressman said he understood that recent “court rulings and unsettledness” had been painful to American Christians, but he urged them to promote their religious views to political rivals.
“I don’t hold fault with those who believe different from me – they just don’t know my savior,” Pittenger said. “They don’t know the one who loved me and gave himself for me.”

the oppressed, and the forgotten? Because that's what Jesus would call his followers to do.
I call bullshit on this Republican sanctimoniousness. They invoke the name of Jesus Christ to justify themselves, yet they are actively hostile to the very people that their God commands them to be loving and compassionate toward.
