In an interview last week, Kern went full-on Christian nationalist, defending his now-vetoed Ten Commandments bill with the usual blather about godly Republicans and demonic Democrats.

“In short, Republicans, they want our kids to learn about God,” Kern told Victory News. “Democrats want our kids to have nothing to do with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They don’t want to mention it. They’d rather have abortions and they’d rather have transgender surgery behind parents’ back.”

I suppose I could turn that around and say that Kern wants nothing to do with the United States Constitution (something you might already have guessed from his role as a fake elector).

In just a two-minute interview, Kern, who is now running for Congress, offered a glaring view of just how ignorant he is about American history, noting that Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed his bill citing separation of church and state.
