WATCH A Trump Supporter Try (And Fail) To Find The Word ‘God’ In The Constitution

A Trump supporter made a complete fool of herself — on national TV, no less — when she insisted that the name of “God” can be found in the U.S. Constitution when challenged on the issue by a CNN correspondent.

Julian Lightfoot was being interviewed by CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan when she remarked, “The job of the journalist is to ask the questions, allow the person to speak and just report the facts. What was spoken. Would you like for me to pull up the definition of journalists?”

O’Sullivan: “That’s okay, but thank you, Julie.”

The woman then added, “Okay. I have a God-given right to speak my own truth.”

“But there are facts, right?” O’Sullivan inquired.

That’s when Lightfoot began spouting conspiracy theories and lies.

“The facts have shown that the election was stolen. Whether you’re willing to look at that and accept that and really show what’s going on, that’s your issue, not ours.”
“We want the God-Given freedom that our Constitution and our Bill of Rights is based on.”

O’Sullivan: “God-given constitutional rights.”

“Yes,” Lightfoot replied.

 “They’re two different things, right?” O’Sullivan asked.

“No, sir, they’re not! Read. R-E-A-D the Constitution. Read it out loud to yourself so that you hear what the words of the Constitution say.”

“God isn’t mentioned in the Constitution,” O’Sullivan rightly informed the woman.

Lightfoot: “Sir!”

Pulling out her cell phone and bringing up the text of the Constitution on the device, Lightfoot began to read. She could not find “God” in the document. Why? Because it isn’t there and never has been.

As O’Sullivan later told CNN host Jake Tapper, “We found out that God is not mentioned in the Constitution. There’s this conflation between the United States and between the land of the Bible, and it’s because of that that a lot of these folks who are also convinced that the election was stolen, they now view this as a kind of Biblical crusade to steal it back and to save America. So it’s misinformation on top of a very perverse view of patriotism and Christianity.”

Much like the man they worship like a demigod, supporters of Donald Trump aren’t fond of reading. Why? Because most of them are intellectually lazy and would rather be misinformed than have to admit they’re wrong, just like Trump himself.
