Hoyer Statement on President Trump's Religious Liberty Executive Order
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today in response to President Trump's Executive Order on religious liberty:
“This executive order is little more than an effort to put employers in charge of the health care decisions of their female employees, for religious organizations to redistribute donations from the faithful to political candidates, and for doctors to discriminate against LGBT patients and their families. It reflects the darkest aspects of our country’s past and flies in the face of our highest values and most cherished principles. What is most shameful, perhaps, is for President Trump to coopt the very foundational American precept of religious liberty and transform it into a buzzword in service to bigotry, misogyny, and the denial of civil rights. It is a reprehensible and sad exercise, unbecoming of our country.”
