Obama Speechwriter: Original Versions of Bible and Constitution Are ‘Evil’

Breitbart:

Sarah Hurwitz, a former speechwriter for Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, and Michelle Obama, described the “original version[s] of the Constitution” and the Old Testament as “evil” and “an abomination” in an interview with David Axelrod, chief strategist of Barack Obama’s two presidential campaigns and a senior advisor to the president during the first term of the Obama administration.

Hurwitz spoke with Axelrod on the latter’s podcast, the Axe Files, for an interview published on December 23. Partial transcript below:

AXELROD: Some of the language is kind of, well, archaic, impenetrable, so how do you derive from that modern meaning?

HURWITZ: Yeah. The Torah, which is the first five books of what Christians call the Old Testament, it’s 2,500 year old. News flash, it’s really old. Constitution, more than 200 years old. If we lived by the original version of the Constitution, that would be evil. It would be an abomination. Same if we lived by the original version of the Torah. You reinterpret it. We amended the Constitution to get rid of slavery, thank God. We amended it to let women vote, thank God. We continue to amend this document. Same with the Torah, right? We have spent 2,500 years reinterpreting, reimagining it, to make it consistent with our moral sensibilities of the time.

Hurwitz went on to praise same-sex marriages performed by Jewish clergy as a modern function of what she described as a moral reimagination and reinterpretation of the Torah. more here

  1. I’m sick of hearing about these obama drones. They were faceless underlings then, and they’re pathetic attention whores now. Their 15 minutes passed them by a long time ago.

  2. Maybe she should try the New Testament, where God speaks of her, specifically.
    Romans 1:22. And when they thought in themselves that they were wise, they became insane.

  3. Another Godless reprobate thinking they’re a Biblical and Constitutional expert. She must be a member of the feminitwit branch of the Pious, Pompous Ex Mayor Buttmug club.

  4. well, give her credit. she did tell the truth about one thing …
    “You don’t meet many white supremacists or neo-Nazis … “

    actually … she probably never met any in her whole, miserable life

    & …. Hurwitz doesn’t seem to have her wits about her
