During the CNN LGBTQ town hall on Thursday night, 2020 presidential hopeful Beto O&#8217;Rourke openly stated that he would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dys-beto-orourkes-liberty-is-no-liberty-at-all">seek to strip religious institutions</a> of their tax-exempt statuses if they opposed same-sex marriage. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) immediately denounced this policy as &#8220;bigoted nonsense.&#8221;
&#8220;This bigoted nonsense would target a lot of sincere Christians, Jews, and Muslims,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/sasse-condemns-beto-orourkes-bigoted-call-to-strip-churches-of-tax-exempt-status/">wrote Sasse in a statement</a> released Friday. &#8220;Leaders from both parties have a duty to flatly condemn this attack on very basic American freedoms. This extreme intolerance is un-American. The whole point of the First Amendment is that … everyone is created with dignity and we don’t use government power to decide which religious beliefs are legitimate and which aren’t.&#8221;
