The House Judiciary Committee erupted Tuesday when Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., quoted the Declaration of Independence while discussing religion and God-given rights.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” Bishop recited.

“Not to Mr. Cohen,” Bishop said and someone responded, “Nope!”

Bishop criticized Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., and the Democratic Party for their “modern view” that it’s not about God or tracing rights to the existence of God, which they believe to be “passé.”

“I’m certain that this country succeeds because of a beneficent and forgiving and caring God,” Bishop continued. (Read more from “‘I’m Going to Stick To God:’ Hearing Erupts as Rep. Bishop Condemns Democrats’ ‘Modern View’ of Religion” HERE)
