Senate Chaplain: "Give Us More Legislators Who are Not Afraid to Call Sin by Its Right Name"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In more news from Capitol Hill, Senate Chaplain Barry Black indirectly
called upon more lawmakers to speak out against President Trump, during
his prayer before the Senate morning session Wednesday.

Barry Black: "Lord, we praise you for ethically congruent lawmakers who,
in their inmost beings, are true and honest. Give us more senators who
are true to duty as the needle to the pole. Give us more legislators who
are not afraid to call sin by its right name."

His prayer comes after two prominent Republican lawmakers-Arizona
Senator Jeff Flake and Tennessee Senator Bob Corker-slammed President
Trump on Tuesday, with Flake calling Trump's behavior "reckless,
outrageous and undignified," and Corker saying Trump's lying and
bullying is "debasing to our country."
