Some Southern Republicans don’t consider Mormons Christians, but it may not matter
MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson contends that some Southern Republicans consider Mormonism a cult instead of a brand of Christianity. Mormons insist they are indeed Christians, worshipping the God of the Old and New Testaments. Michael Graham replied that it may not matter anyway:
The last time I checked, evangelicals didn’t consider Judaism a form of Christianity either, and yet Joe Lieberman is wildly popular and is probably the most popular Democrat among Southern Republicans. In the modern era, it is not one religion versus another.
