As a continuation the liberal media’s narrative that Hillary Clinton’s pick for VP is a perfect ‘centrist’ and properly religious, ABC Political Commentator Matthew Dowd hyped a religious feud between Tim Kaine and Mike Pence on This Week. “What I’m fascinated to see is, these are two men of— both of deep faith,” stated Dowd, “But from opposite sides. One, the Social Justice Catholic, the other Evangelical Fundamentalist.”
Dowd started by fawning over how in love Clinton was with her decision to pick the former Virginia Governor. “You could see in Hillary Clinton's attitude on that stage, that she was -- you saw her at peace,” he noted, “You saw her full of joy.” The Host of This Week, and Clinton lackey, George Stephanopoulos chimed in saying Kaine, “Lightened her up a little bit.”
He also praised the Kaine pick as a possible turning point for conversations about religion in America. “But they are both deep of faith,” Dowd said, “And I think it's a great conversation in America, because so much of the faith conversation has been co-opted on one side.” The commentator seemed to enjoy the idea of Democrats being able to compete on religious questions.
Creating an overly simplistic world view of their faiths with which to slam Pence was Dowd’s next argument:
Now we have somebody who uses faith in the grays and somebody who uses faith in the black and white. Somebody’s faith as saying the kingdom of God is here and now. Someone that uses faith as the kingdom of God is in the future and over there. And I think that’s a great conversation.
