Gingrich: If It’s Barrett, Will Kamala Rein In Her Anti-Catholic Bigotry?

On Monday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose wife Callista is the United States Ambassador to the Vatican, mentioned the strong possibility that President Trump might nominate Appeals Court judge and devout Catholic Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy created by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court, then pointed out the hostility Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris has shown toward the Catholic faith.

Gingrich also correctly noted that if Democrats target Barrett because her faith would make her a staunch foe of abortion, then a candidate who was an Evangelical Christian or Orthodox Jew would also be persona non grata. He asked, “Are Democrats really prepared to alienate that many Americans?”
