GOP Candidate Reveals HUGE Thing Pope’s Visit May Have Finally Forced D.C. Politicians To Do

(Before It's News)

The Washington elite can no longer ignore the demands of everyday Americans for religious liberty, former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee said Wednesday, reacting to news that Pope Francis had met with Kentucky clerk Kim Davis.

Huckabee has been a strong supporter of Davis, who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and was briefly jailed for her refusal.

“The media mocked and derided millions of Americans who supported Kim Davis’ constitutional right to religious liberty,” said Huckabee, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination. “It may just be a visit from the Pope that pushes the out of touch political class in Washington to finally stand up to judicial tyranny and stand for religious liberty.”

The pope met with Davis and her husband privately in Washington on September 24th. News of the meeting emerged this week. After the pope’s visit, he said government employees have a right not to violate their beliefs in public service.

“While the media elites were slobbering all over themselves because Pope Francis commented on climate change, the Pope held a quiet and powerful meeting with a humble Apostolic county clerk from Kentucky,” Huckabee said.

“The Pope recognized something the chattering class in Washington and Wall Street will never understand – that Kim Davis followed her conscience and convictions. The Pope thanked Kim for doing so and congratulated her for her stand,” he said.

The meeting of Davis and the pope is more than just a meeting of two individuals, said Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel, the law firm representing Davis.

“The challenges we face in America regarding the sanctity of human life, marriage, and religious freedom are the same universal challenges Christians face around the world,” Staver said.

“Religious freedom is a human right that comes from God. These values are shared in common by people of faith, and the threats to religious freedom are universal. Kim Davis has become a symbol of this worldwide conflict between Christian faith and recent cultural challenges regarding marriage,” Staver said.

    I thought it finally forced all DC politician’s to pay tribute to their Jew Masters and Owners of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and all of them would start wearing little jew bag Yalmulka/Kippah beanie skull caps on a daily basis.
