Wilmington, DE – Matt Moran, campaign manager for Christine O’Donnell, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, today issued the following statement to address the conversation of whether the separation of church and state is stated in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“Christine O’Donnell was not questioning the concept of separation of church and state as subsequently established by the courts. She simply made the point that the phrase appears nowhere in the Constitution. It was in fact Chris Coons who demonstrated his Constitutional ignorance when he could not name the five freedoms contained in the First Amendment.”
