The South Carolina Senate may have thought they were gathering to talk about the Confederate flag, but they heard a sermon instead.
Republican Sen. Lee Bright took the stand to talk about what was really on his heart: That the Confederate flag debates are distracting Americans from what’s really going on in this country, a moral decline facilitated by the devil himself.
He points to the White House displaying “abomination colors,” and Judeo-Christian principles “under assault by men in black robes who are not elected by you.”
“We can rally together and talk about a flag all we want, but the devil is taking control of this land and we’re not stopping him,” the senator said.
Instead of the flag debate, Bright believes Americans need to be addressing the “business of marriage.”
“I believe that Christ teaches us to love the homosexual, but He also teaches us to stand in the gap against sin,” he said. “I know that we need to respect our brother and love our brother, but we cannot respect this sin in the state of South Carolina, so I’m asking you … to deal with marriage.”
