This man literally said there's no such thing as separation of church and state "for him." If that's the case, step down from Office and declare yourself a "sovereign citizen." When will the federal government stop letting Florida act like God left them in charge?

[kds]

Separation of church and state. Fire him

[deputy]

He sounds like a religious madman more than a public SERVANT.

[Hoycelolland]

First and formost they need to get rid of this mayor to. No seperation between church and state? Ehat other constitutional rights does he deny?

[collinmcdaniel]

Can we just have cocaine councilman back?

[billlam]

That fool look so deceitful. People need to leave their religion behind when they go outside and at work. Pray, beg etc.. do ur thing on ur own time

[beaubiden]

This is why you don’t give them power.

[afan]

And he needs to be fired as mayor. This is America. We were based and found it on the principal of separation of church and state. People like this is going to cause this country to fall. And Republicans as another story lol. They need to vote him out point blank

[zaizoesclashing]

But it doesn't sound like the mayor is the only dead beat on the council

[Lvnshyrn]

I wonder what the mayor is hiding if he's such a 🐈‍⬛️about it.

[MatthewParksSr]

Jesus references separation of Church and State in Matthew 22 : 21. Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's. Pretty cut and dry.

[DOCTORJAN]

If that's who you serve, then get a new job.

[ginay]

This is bs but not surprising for Florida and the direction it’s headed. Maybe if they have revivals and baptisms after council meetings he’d show up

[jackReed-kd]

He didn’t know this when he got elected? He delayed so he could cut a strategy deal with coke boy!

[nonyabizwax]

So Jesus saying himself. Give to Caeser what is Caeser means nothing to him?

[JustJah]

I'm all for it! Hold up your blood stained banner however God guides you.
