.MaddowBlog: Facing crises, Team Trump takes aim at the church-state line.

On Friday, Attorney General William Barr spoke at Notre Dame’s law school and raised a few eyebrows by condemning societal ills on conspiring American secularists. As far as the nation’s chief law enforcement official was concerned, non-religious Americans – roughly a fifth of the population – are helping advance “social pathology” and “moral upheaval.” Barr added that these sinister secularists are responsible for “an unremitting assault” on “traditional values.

The speech was delivered at the America Association of Christian Counselors on Friday in Nashville, Tennessee. Pompeo touts Christianity throughout the remarks, describing how he applies his faith to his government work, referencing God and the Bible during the entirety of the speech. Taken together, Team Trump’s theological push isn’t exactly subtle. In a country that’s supposed to honor the constitutional principle of separation of church and state, it isn’t exactly healthy, either.

With Trump, Barr, and Pompeo each touting related theological messages over the course of a few days, as each of these men get caught up in an impeachment scandal, it’s hardly unreasonable to think there’s a larger strategy unfolding. And given the importance of evangelical Christians in the president’s base, the effort may even have the intended effect.

MaddowBlog One big thing to remember about Trump's lack of leadership style is that Trump will create an emergency, talk tough and when the event flashes back on him, Trump avoids confrontation by abdicating his responsibility and looks for the next photo op.

Press organization condemns fake massacre by Trump depicted at pro-Trump eventvideo shows kathy griffin graphically be heading trump 'reportedly shown' reported by fake NYT Maggie Haberman. It wasn't shown at the conference. Simply another lie by dems. No excuse for violence, although Hollywood promotes it, but where was WHCA's voice condemning the bias, non-fact based reporting by journalists which has tarnished news orgs? At least WHCA should have a 'ding' award for disinformation reporting
