CNN’s Abby Phillip Knocks Dollar Bill Claim In Louisiana Lawmaker’s ‘Secular’

CNN host Abby Phillip dismissed the idea posed by Republican Louisiana lawmaker Lauren Ventrella that Christian values are the “moral fiber” of the U.S. as a country by citing, among other proof, the ‘In God We Trust” motto on the dollar bill.

Ventrella appeared on CNN Newsnight to mount a “secular” defense of the so-called Ten Commandments bill she co-authored and which was signed into law on Wednesday. The bill requires a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments, the law delivered by Moses in the Hebrew Bible.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), along with two other civil liberties groups, are suing Louisiana over the new law that they claim is “blatantly unconstitutional.”
