Hosting Robert Jeffress on his radio show on Monday, Fox News host Todd Starnes seemed to agree with Jeffress that Democrats don’t worship the Christian God, but may worship the pagan god Moloch, a god associated with child sacrifice. Now Starnes is out at Fox. Whether the two things are related or not is unknown.
This is somewhat satisfying to us at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), who for years have had to put up with Starnes maligning and lying about our organization and its founder Mikey Weinstein every chance he got.
Among other names, Starnes once called Weinstein a “a special kind of low-life,” and has incessantly referred to MRFF as an atheist organization bent on removing all religion from America, despite being told repeatedly by MRFF’s attorneys that MRFF is not an atheist organization. (Not that there’s anything wrong with atheist organizations; we just don’t happen to be one.)
So, Starnes, who was once fired from the Baptist Press over factual errors, will now have to take his factual errors somewhere other than Fox News.
