Trump Puts Democrat Senator in His Place for Rejecting God-Given Rights

Virginia Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine recently denied that rights come from God rather than government, and President Donald Trump corrected the record in a speech about religious liberty on Monday.
[snip]“It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Sharia law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians, and other religious minorities. And they do it because they believe that they understand what natural rights are from their Creator. So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling,” the lawmaker said.

“I think the motto over the Supreme Court is ‘equal justice under law’ — the oath that you and I take pledged to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, not arbitrarily defined natural rights,” he continued.

“The ineffectual senator from Virginia, a man named Tim Kaine, stated that the notion our rights come from our Creator is ‘extremely troubling’ to him,” Trump said.

“It’s this Declaration of Independence that proclaims we’re endowed by our creator with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” Trump added.

Trump also remarked during the speech, “It is the tyrants who are denying our rights and the rights that come from God.”

“He just announced that the core foundational principle of our country, affirmed in the Declaration of Independence, is ‘extremely troubling’ and ‘theocratic.’ He should be immediately removed from office. Anyone who rejects our nation’s foundational principles is obviously not fit to serve.”

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz added, “Our rights don’t come from government or the DNC. They come from God.”
