Washington, D.C. - Carl Anderson, the head of the Knights of Columbus, spoke with Townhall Friday during the March for Life about the scrutiny that judicial nominee Brian C. Buescher faced over his membership in the Catholic charitable organization.
In written questions submitted in December, Sens. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) expressed concern over the group’s support of defining marriage as being between a man and a woman and the group's opposition to abortion. These positions are both official teachings of the Catholic church.
Anderson told Townhall that he was “greatly surprised” by the senators’ scrutiny and referenced similar criticism that a Democrat, and member of the Knights of Columbus, former president John F. Kennedy had faced decades ago.
“We thought that Sen. John Kennedy when he ran for president back in 1960 kind of put that issue behind us,” he said, “so I don’t think we want to go backward, we want to go forward and their questions really are unfortunate.”

Frankly, if you put the two events together, the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings and the scrutiny of Buescher, it appears to me that Hirono and Harris are just pure and simple anti Catholic hiding behind the veil of pro abortion. Again, frankly, as U.S. Senators I think they should be scrutinized for their attack on religious freedom which has no place in America.
