Trump camp calls on Clinton to fire aides over emails mocking Catholics

Jennifer Palmieri, now the Clinton campaign’s director of communications, said in a 2011 email exchange that some politically conservative Catholics "think [Catholicism] is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion. Their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals."

Palmieri was responding to a message from John Halpin, a fellow at the liberal think tank Center for American Progress. Halpin remarked on a magazine article that discussed how both 21st Century Fox CEO Rupert Murdoch and "Robert Thompson, managing editor of the [Wall Street Journal], are raising their kids Catholic."

"Friggin' Murdoch baptized his kids in Jordan where John the Baptist baptized Jesus," Halpin said, before dismissing Catholic beliefs on gender as “backwards.”

"It's an amazing bastardization of the faith," Halpin added. "They must be attracted to the systematic thought and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of Christian democracy."

Was that on the advice of his two Corinthians or did he come to that decision eating his little cracker?

Trump has no place talking about Christianity whatsoever anymore than Clinton does.

Why can't at least we allow Trump to be useful and take the Clintons down with him?

Go ahead. You still think this is an election and not Kabuki theater.

If the GOP had a brain, these quotes would be running in TV ads in Boston every 10 minutes...
