Mikey Weinstein Says Cadet Who Displayed Bible Verse Should be “Visibly Punished”

Mikey Weinstein, head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, appeared on Jay Sekulow Live today to defend the outrageous claims he has made about Christians in the military.

He said that the U.S. Air Force Accademy cadet whose Bible verse was censored should be “visibly punished” for displaying it and that the leadership who initially allowed him to display it should be court martialed.

Jay and Jordan Sekulow forced him to defend his comments comparing Christians in the military to the Taliban. After appearing to back down from that claim, admitting that no Christians in the military were beheading unbelievers, he asserted that he would never back down from that claim, tweeting about it afterwards.

Rollicking debate with @JaySekulow of the @ACLJ, discussing the threat to #militaryfreedom from the #ChristianTaliban... Stay tuned...
