On Thursday, just before the U.S. House passed the Equality Act, which would expand the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, Rep. Jerry Nadler gave a speech responding to some of his Republican colleagues’ points.

Some of them were saying the Equality Act was “anti-faith” and that the bill would move the country “away from our Judeo-Christian values.”

Rep. Greg Steube was even more blunt with his lie:

“The gender confusion that exists in our culture today is a clear rejection of God’s good design,” he said. “Whenever a nation’s laws no longer reflect the standards of God, that nation is in rebellion against him and will inevitably bear the consequences.”
