    Referring to himself and the Ugandans there as “we,” Walberg asked, “Whose side do we want to be on? God’s side. Not the World Bank, not the United States of America, necessarily, not the U.N. God’s side.”

    So he doesn’t stand with the USA? Sounds like he needs to be removed from Congress.

      ‘The UN God’s side’? What kind of lunatic nonsense is that?

        I think it’s one of those funny situations where putting the periods in the abbreviation for “U.N.” means no period at the end of the sentence.

        Not the UN [stop]. God’s side. The dots behind the letters obscure that the sentence ended.

          Along with God being capitalized wherever it appears in a sentence. E.g., it would also have been clear if it has said, “…U.N. We are on God’s side.”

      Removed from Congress? That practically sounds like renouncing your citizenship.

      Going to another country to oppose your own country is atypical.

      hmm, Jesus once said lest judge each other and kill them if we don’t like them. Praise Be.
