BBC interview with Rees-Mogg is bigotry.
The Conservative MP said during the interview: “I make no criticism of any of my colleagues, but do you believe in religious tolerance?”
He continued: “So why do you pick on this view of the Catholic Church? I am asking you, why do you pick on the views of the Catholic Church?”
Coburn responded: “I am saying there are people who might have a problem with it,” to which Rees-Mogg answered: “You are saying that tolerance only goes so far and you should not be tolerant of the teaching of the Catholic Church, so isn’t this stretching into religious bigotry?”
The presenter asked him if he thought his faith was a barrier to holding high office, prompting the Catholic politician to respond: “Ah, that is a different question and it is really important to get to the heart of this because this country believes in religious tolerance, we are a very tolerant nation.
“The act of tolerance is to tolerate things you do not agree with not just ones you do agree with and the problem with liberal tolerance is it has got to the point of only tolerating what it likes.”

The BBC is coming under fire after a journalist suggested a Conservative Member of Parliament’s Catholic belief in marriage presented a “problem” for holding his office.
During a recent interview, Jo Coburn asked if Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg could support Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson, who is pregnant and engaged to another woman, for future leadership positions. Rees-Mogg said he had no problem “at all” with Davidson’s personal life and that it was “wonderful” that she was expecting a child, but he said that any endorsement for a hypothetical future vacancy would be premature.
However, when Rees-Mogg added that as a Catholic he could not support her same-sex “marriage,” Coburn suggested he was the one whose lifestyle disqualified him from a political career.

Cheers for this righteous man, she was so stupid, he made a monkey out of her babel so much so that one could easily see the horns popping out of her head. God Bless Him, St Micheal Protect him, Mother Mary watch over him and his family.
