    Which faith? Why doesn’t the announcement declare that all faiths will be equally represented and defended? Why is she a christian pastor? What.The. FUCK. Happened to separation of church and state?

      Separation of church and state isn’t actually in our constitution, sadly

      The closest it gets is saying congress can’t make a law favoring any religion, nothing about the president doing batshit stuff religious wise
