Mormon leaders, military veterans and elected officials reacted with anger to a new Department of Defense policy that does not consider The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian religion as part of a wider effort to cut down the U.S. military’s list of recognized faiths.
“The Pentagon’s decision to list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christian faiths is wrong and needs to be corrected,” Republican Rep. Mike Kennedy, of heavily Mormon Utah, wrote on X on Sunday.
That’s 4 electoral votes in play right there!!
Four electoral votes that’ll vote Republican no matter what.
I don’t know if you understand Mormon culture or not. They spent decades of lobbying and advertising to be counted as Christians in the first place. Fucking with the church holds more sway to them than anything else. The church being shunned like this means the church will have to send a message and they own all of the politicians outright.
They’re owned by Israel, who are you kidding?
Plus Idaho, which also has a lot of Mormon influence.
