| Description | Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) on Friday tied the shooting at a Colorado movie theater to “the ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs.”
“You know, what really gets me, as a Christian, is to see the ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs, and then some senseless crazy act of a derelict takes place," Gohmert said in an interview with the Heritage Foundation.
At least a dozen people were killed and 50 injured after a gunman stormed a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in Aurora, Colo. Authorities arrested James Holmes, 24, as a suspect.
"Some of us happen to believe that when our founders talked about guarding our virtue and freedom, that that was important," Gohmert said. “Whether it's John Adams saying our Constitution was made only for moral and religious people ... Ben Franklin, saying only a virtuous people are capable of freedom, as nations become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters. I mean it goes on and on. ... We have been at war with the very pillars, the very foundation of this country." |
