Jeb Bush: Obama Is Leaning on Religious Liberty
In his commencement address at Liberty University in Virginia Saturday, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is a likely Republican presidential candidate, condemned the Obama administration's use of "coercive federal power" to limit religious freedom.
"The present administration is supporting the use of coercive federal power," Bush, a converted Catholic, said in his speech at a graduation ceremony at the evangelical university in Lynchburg.
"What should be easy calls in favor of religious freedom have instead become an aggressive stance against it," he told a crowd of about 34,000 people.
"Somebody here is being small-minded and intolerant, and it sure isn't the nuns, ministers, and laymen and women who ask only to live and practice their faith," he added.
