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.
Of how Mike Kennedy & Pete Hegseth have more power than you and a religion?
No-no-no, you mentioned you have power? I’d like to hear a bit more about this power?
Have you ever helped neighbors, disabled, the homeless?
Ah yes, this is the power you speak of? Please tell me more about your power?
Yes. Do you not empower people?
Do you? I’m so interested in your power? Please tell me more?
I do. What more do you need to know? If you see a need, do you not intersect?
Intersect what? I’m so curious?
Intersect the homeless, the disabled, my community?
I am starting to feel like you wanted Pete to recategorize those that voted for him, thus consequently whatever you envisioned Kamala would assign, wouldn’t do the same to you, the out-party.
