“It’s obvious the Trump administration has no use for the Constitution whatsoever,” one attendee said, asking Clyburn about the Trump administration’s immigration efforts and suggesting he feared US-born citizens could be next. “What can Congress do to put a stop to this nonsense coming out of the White House?”

Clyburn gave a lengthy response, including reading out the 14th Amendment and emphasizing the importance of hosting congressional town halls and speaking to voters across the country.

The congressman then asked the crowd to pray that the US “will not allow itself to go the way of Germany in the 1930s.”

You do realize even most people who report that they aren't religious on polls also believe in magic, right? Pew Research Polls found that 69% of people who listed their religion as "no religion" believe in God and 13% of them specifically believe in the Christian God. So if 28% of people in America list their religion as "none" and only 29%* of those people actually don't believe in God, you're left with only 8.7% of the population. Regardless of your personal beliefs, the numbers are really, really bad if you're completely unwilling to work with anyone who is religious or spiritual. 8.7% of the population is a nuisance, not a movement.

*2% didn't answer the question
