'FAKE' CHRISTIAN? Conservative Leader Calls Out SPLC's Incoming CEO | Brad Dacus

from The Daily Signal · host The Daily Signal

Brad Dacus, founder of the Pacific Justice Institute, joins the Daily Signal's Tyler O'Neil. Dacus is challenging Ryan Haygood, the incoming CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center, to a debate on whether PJI is a "hate group." Haygood quotes scripture in his LinkedIn biography, but Dacus considers it "disingenuous" for a leader of a nonprofit that demonizes traditional Christian beliefs to tout his Christian convictions. "It's really ironic he's calling himself a Christian and yet he goes out of his way to attack benevolent, loving Christian organizations because of their Christian beliefs and Christian worldview," Dacus said. "You can't declare yourself Christian on Sunday morning and go to church and then on Monday, be the enemy of Christians, Christian organizations and ministries because of their Christian biblical worldview. It's not real, it's fake, it's disingenuous." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
