In a speech in Ohio, President Trump remarked that presum-ptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden aims to “take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment,” adding: “No religion, no anything. Hurt the Bible, hurt God. He’s against God, he’s against guns.”
Biden took umbrage at this rather incoherent assertion, issuing a statement that called his faith “the bedrock founda-tion” of his life – though nowhere in his lengthy response did he mention Catholicism, the specific faith he professes. Some of Biden’s supporters used Trump’s comments as an occasion to tout Biden’s faith, such as this ina-ccurate tweet from The Lincoln Project: Joe Biden is a devout catholic and regularly attends Sunday service.
Once Trump went to church, he gassed peaceful Americans.
The theme of Biden as a devout Catholic has received plenty of media attention over his decades in public life, most often because he tends to point to his faith background to justify certain parts of his policy platform, such as his support for a vast welfare state and unlimited immigration. Just last summer, he began opposing capital punishment.
