Here is the one hundred forty-fourth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s honoree is Republican DOJ Public Affairs Director appointee Kerri Kupec. She is so honored for substituting Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christian hatred against LGBT Americans for fair equal treatment.
A top job in the Department of Justice may seem out of reach for a graduate of a bottom-tier law school, but if that bottom-tier law school is Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University, Donald Trump is president, and said graduate embraces a future of hatemongering, the sky is the limit. Just ask Kerri Kupec, the recently appointed director of the Office of Public Affairs at the Justice Department.
Kupec, a 2011 Liberty Law grad [pseudo-Christians delinked], is perfect for her new position, which opened up after the ouster of Attorney General Jeff Sessions just after the midterm elections. Kupec replaces Sarah Isgur Flores, a longtime Sessions ally, according to the Daily Beast; Flores now works for Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein….
…So how does a fairly recent graduate of a subpar law school find herself in such a crucial PR position? For Kupec, it took years of hard work spreading homophobia and the right-wing agenda through the Alliance Defending Freedom [GOP hate group delinked], a nonprofit that describes itself as “an alliance for victory,” founded because “Christian leaders … recognized that Christians … needed to unite in order to defend religious freedom before it was too late.”
(T)he Alliance Defending Freedom is a legal advocacy and training group that has supported the recriminalization of homosexuality in the U.S. and criminalization abroad; has defended state-sanctioned sterilization of trans people abroad; has linked homosexuality to pedophilia and claims that a “homosexual agenda” will destroy Christianity and society. ADF also works to develop “religious liberty” legislation and case law that will allow the denial of goods and services to LGBT people on the basis of religion.
Since the election of President Donald Trump, the ADF has become one of the most influential groups informing the administration’s attack on LGBT rights working with an ally in Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The SPLC also notes that the ADF is essentially a farm system for the conservative machine in D.C.
Kupec has spent the last four years as a mouthpiece [GOP hate group delinked] for the powerful organization, typically ranting about supposed attacks on religious freedom on such respected networks as the Christian Broadcasting Network and Fox News. The new DOJ OPA director also made the rounds on the Christian college keynote circuit…

She is now responsible with how DOJ interacts with the media.
The article included a video of her defending unequal treatment of a gay couple. Watch her talk of love, while spewing hateful lies.
For the record, Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians, like Kupec, are the exact opposite of real authentic Christians. She and her ilk are like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes that Jesus rebuked regularly. America needs better!
RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
This whole issue goes beyond them being terrible Christians and into the territory of their being blasphemers. From Wikipedia (but other definitions are similar), “Blasphemy is the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable.” Because LGBTQ people are what they are because GOD MADE THEM WHAT THEY ARE, these “Christians” are insulting and showing contempt toward the God who created them. For a Christian, that is a very serious sin. I keep trying to tell them that … but you know how it is with the brainwashed.
Good Grief! Boggles my mind how these folks who profess faith can be so hateful with their words and actions. God embraces us all, with Love.
Talibangelical christianists like her that embrace, endorse, cheer & vote for Twitler are the most hypocritical people in America.
Perfect for the Empty Orange’s administration. It’s like he has a direct line to the bottom of the cess pool!
Alliance Defending Freedom? HA! HA! A thousand times HA! What a perfect example of right-wing Newspeak – give an organization a highfalutin name that makes it sound good but describes the exact opposite of what it actually does. Kupec doesn’t have a Christian bone in her body. She is a big fat rat all dolled up in a Halloween costume as a sheep.
A barf bag alert would have been appropriate. Another incompetent bigot for the department of Justice. And young too; perhaps they’re running out of the real stuff. Not that it matters; Drumpf will appoint anyone the Talibangelists throw at him to keep them off his back. And they’re his to appoint and Pence is perfectly happy to leave them there when he takes over.
Apologies! I planned an alert, but was so tired I forgot.
Crazy to read how she is just as religious as tRump…what a farce. Defending Freedom??? Who and when?? Certainly hasn’t been by tRump or his cronies. Seems to me like the repugs have been scraping the bottom of the barrels.
“She and her ilk are like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes that Jesus rebuked regularly.” — AMEN!!!
I agree with JD with one amendment, these pseudo Christians ARE BLASPHEMERS! Additionally, they have no concept of the Declaration of Independence upon which the US Constitution was built which is very bad especially for a so called lawyer. The DofI says:
She and her ilk are like the tree outside my window — twisting and bowing in the wind! (we have another wind warning and the trees are bending over backwards it seems!)
I thought it was the Happiness of Pursuit!
As Nameless likes to say, why not both?
Amen!
Thanks all. Hugs!
