Newsmax host Tom Basile questioned Kamala Harris’ faith in a stunning rant on his show America Right Now over the weekend.
“Talking about going to church as a child and quoting Second Corinthians a couple of times isn’t necessarily evidence that you’re a Christian or a believer in biblical values,” Basile said.
“Her mother was Hindu. Her estranged father has been tied to Marxism — an atheistic ideology,” he continued ignoring the fact that Harris’ father was raised in the Anglican Church in Jamaica and served as an acolyte.
“Her stepdaughter is a pro-Palestinian left-wing activist. Miss Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, have nailed a mezuzah to the front door post at the Naval Observatory, and they’ve hosted a Passover Seder. But that doesn’t mean that her own faith is tethered to biblical values in any real sense,” Basile said. “Perhaps no political figure on a national ticket in recent memory has so assiduously avoided mentioning in public statements about the Bible or biblical values, or even Almighty God as Miss Harris.”
“There is therefore plenty of reason to wonder whether the Vice President is committed to the religious and biblical underpinnings of the country. And if she is a Christian, well, then what kind of Christian is she?” Basile concluded.
In a profile of Harris faith in July, the Associated Press wrote that she is a “Baptist married to a Jewish man, she’s inspired by the work of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and influenced by the religious traditions of her mother’s native India as well as the Black Church.”
Rev. Amos Brown, Harris’ longtime pastor who leads Third Baptist Church in San Francisc told the AP, “she’s had the best of two worlds.”
“The vice president has a strong Christian faith that she’s talked about a lot,” Jamal Simmons, a pastor’s son and Harris’ former communications director told the outlet. “She was raised in a Christian church, and attended Christian churches throughout her life, and I think that still influences her, her worldview and her ethical commitments.”
