Georgia Republican Casually Admits His ‘Religious Freedom’ Bill Protects The KKK (VIDEO)

On Friday, Georgie Senate Republicans likely violated the U.S. Constitution by passing a “religious liberty” bill that protects homophobes. The bill, which allows “any individual or ‘faith-based’ business, non-profit entity, or taxpayer-funded organization to ignore any law that conflicts with their religious beliefs about marriage” also applies to racists as well.
Known as the Georgia First Amendment Defense Act (FADA), the bill was defended by its sponsor Republican Senator Greg Kirk, who couldn’t care less that hate groups like the KKK might also be protected under his legislation. Kirk showed just how racist he could be when Democratic State Senator Emanuel Jones pointed out that Kirk’s bill might unintentionally backfire. Jones, who is black, asked Kirk, “We’re all familiar with the terms KKK, meaning the hate organization Ku Klux Klan.”
Kirk squirmed a little before answering “I’ve read about them, yes.”
Jones continued, making the argument that Kirk’s bill had loopholes that concerned the African American community. Educating Kirk that by protecting “faith based” organizations, FADA was actually protecting the KKK (which believe it or not, is faith-based), Jones said:
“Some of my heritage have done a lot more than just read about them. My concern is, couldn’t that organization if they chose to do so identify themselves as ‘faith based’?”
