J D Vance bashed the the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and questioned whether the church was more focused on money than its religious values.
Vice President JD Vance lectured the group of Catholic bishops on their approach to religious practice during an interview Sunday,
lashing out at them for criticizing the White House’s approach to immigration.
Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan pressed Vance, a Catholic convert,
over the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' condemnation of President Donald Trump’s various immigration-related executive orders.
The group said on Wednesday Trump’s orders, some of which allow the government to raid churches for undocumented immigrants,
were “deeply troubling” and “will harm the most vulnerable among us.
It continued a trend of religious leaders criticizing the administration’s approach to immigration.
“Do you personally support the idea of conducting a raid or enforcement action in a church service, at a school?” Brennan asked
“I think that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to actually look in the mirror a little bit
and recognize that when they receive over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns?
Or are they actually worried about their bottom line?” Vance said.
He also claimed the organization has been a barrier to law enforcement detaining undocumented immigrants and said he supports law enforcement entering from anywhere
—including churches and schools
—to remove them
