2. Jody Hice (Georgia 10). The 54-year-old reverend and nationally syndicated radio host believes
America needs to return to its Christian roots, forgetting the founders
intentionally established a separation of church and state. Before
running for office, he spent years fighting (and losing in court to) the
ACLU over displaying the 10 Commandments in a county courthouse. He’s
written a book that says Muslims don’t deserve First Amendment rights
and he believes homosexuality is a choice that can be cured with prayer.
3. Mark Walker (North Carolina 6). The 45-year-old
Alabama native is a Baptist preacher and worship leader who never held
elected office before winning his congressional seat. Apart from his
conservative religious views, Walker not only said the
National Guard should be deployed on the Mexican border to stop illegal
immigration, but that the military should shoot at migrants. “We got to
go laser or blitz somebody with a couple of fighter jets for a little
while to make our point,” he said
in a September debate, prompting the moderator to ask if he was saying
the U.S. should start a war with Mexico. “Well, we did it before, if we
need to do it again, I don’t have a qualm about it,” he replied.
