10/21/2020 Tweet - "Our Constitution forbids disqualifying people from public service due to their religious beliefs. The far left has either forgotten this or just doesn't care. It only underscores why we need well-informed jurists like Judge Barrett to protect our Constitution & Americans' rights."
10/07/2020 Continued Attacks on Judge Barrett's Faith Are A Disgrace
10/07/2020 Tweet - "The ongoing attacks by Senate Democrats and the media on Judge Barrett's faith are a disgrace. They demean the confirmation process, disrespect the Constitution, and insult millions of American believers."

10/02/2020 Tweet - "ICYMI: I joined @HughHewitt this morning to discuss Judge Barrett's outstanding qualifications, the decision by some on the left to attack her religious faith, and the Democrats' ongoing threats against our governing institutions."
09/29/2020 Tweet - "Multiple times, with multiple nominees, Senate Democrats have said or implied that certain personal religious beliefs make Americans unfit to serve. Judge Barrett in 2017 was only one example. Now the media's joining in. These tactics need to stop now."
06/09/2020 Tweet - "I strongly & fully support Americans' right to peacefully protest. But through no fault of the demonstrators, recent days have revealed glaring inconsistencies from some local leaders. While some mayors cheer mass protests, they continue to ban careful church gatherings."
06/09/2020 Tweet - "Speech, assembly, and the free exercise of religion are all sacrosanct liberties. Mayors cannot play "red-light, green-light" with the First Amendment and cheer certain protests while selectively disadvantaging people of faith. The Bill of Rights is not an a-la-carte menu."
05/07/2020 Tweet - "Our National Day of Prayer certainly comes at the right time this year. Let's pray for everyone who is sick and suffering with the coronavirus, struggling with unemployment and isolation, or working on the front lines to care for strangers and keep our nation going."
04/14/2020 Tweet - "TUNE IN: I will be speaking to @FRCdc Washington Watch with Tony Perkins at ~5:00 pm to discuss the coronavirus crisis and Judge Walker's ruling defending Kentuckians' religious liberty. https://tonyperkins.com"

04/11/2020 Tweet - "Grateful for this strong, eloquent ruling defending Kentuckians' religious liberty from Judge Justin Walker, @POTUS 's outstanding nominee for the D.C. Circuit. Of course church parking lots cannot be singled out with unfair standards that differ from other establishments."
04/11/2020 Tweet - "Exactly. Elaine and I will be celebrating Easter at home. I encourage all Kentuckians to do likewise and to follow all CDC guidance. But governments need to protect citizens' health without trampling basic constitutional principles at the same time."
03/06/2020 Tweet - "I've worked my whole career to stand against anti-Semitism. We must denounce it wherever it emerges. This is a responsibility that all Americans must share."
