'We must oppose the Christian Taliban'
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Wednesday criticized comments that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) made on Sunday in which she called for ending the separation of church and state in the United States.
Boebert said in a speech at the Cornerstone Christian Center in Basalt, Colo., that she is tired of the principle and falsely claimed that the Founding Fathers did not intend to keep religion separate from government.

Either should disqualify her from holding public office.

Perfect example of authoritarianism ever.
