Cenk Uygur told Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore that Pope Francis is splitting up the religious conservative coalition built during Ronald Reagans 1980 presidential campaign.
The Young Turks host appeared Wednesday night alongside comedians Jim Gaffigan and Kerry Coddett to discuss the popes liberal stances on global warming, divorce, same-sex marriage, and guns.
Hes making conservative heads spin, which I love, Uygur said. Theyre like, yeah religion and state, lets combine those two things, its going to be great. You cant be a good Catholic if youre pro-choice. Now the pope is like, all right, weapons manufacturers are evil and cant be good Catholics.
Uygur said the popes pronouncements could break up the moral majority built by pro-business Republicans to help elect Reagan 35 years ago.
All my life theyve been saying youve got to bring church and state together, and youve got to listen to my church, Uygur said. Well, Im not in your church dont know why I have to listen to it, right? But now, all of a sudden, the church agrees with me and boy, theyre not happy. So now its, No, no, we didnt mean church and state, weve got to separate church and state.
