Last week, over one hundred Jewish rabbis wrote a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, arguing "the SPLC 'hate map' is uniquely detrimental and even dangerous to the Jewish community." The Amazon Smile program relies on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to determine which charities qualify for donations.

Voting is a time-honored tradition in American politics. Although elections are held every year, the stakes feel much higher when people get to vote for president. Every vote matters, no matter how that vote is cast. In just a few weeks, millions of Americans will begin to receive their absentee ballots for the 2020 general election. Shortly thereafter, many states will start early in-person voting, and in 53 days, Americans will head to the polls to cast their in-person ballots on Election Day.

Judging by Democrat obstruction of the recent Senate vote on the latest coronavirus relief package, it's not COVID-19 on their minds, but this upcoming election season. As Senator Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) observed on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, Democrats had no interest in supporting a bill which would have brought constructive relief to American across the country, instead almost uniformly voting against the half-trillion dollar bill, which fell short of the 60-vote procedural threshold when it failed 52-47.

A Gulf of Division
|

Exactly how far apart are the two parties on the issues facing America? Tony Perkins and Congressman Mike Johnson (R-La.), chairman of the Republican Study Committee, answer that question in a new joint column for the Washington Times, "As Dems Apologize for America, GOP Still Believes in a Platform Standing for Life and Liberty."

On this special "Faith & Freedom" edition of Washington Watch, we feature Rep. Mark Green, U.S. Representative for the 7th district of Tennessee and author of "A Night with Saddam," and Rep. Tim Walberg, U.S. Representative for the 7th district of Michigan. Rep. Green discusses the religious discrimination he faced from Congress after being nominated by President Trump for a cabinet position. He was viciously criticized by Democratic senators and the mainstream media for his statements affirming biblical positions on marriage, gender identity, and a divine Creator. Rep. Walberg shares how he answered the call to both politics and the pulpit, as well as why Christians should be engaged in the 2020 election.
