Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) accused Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) of calling the U.S. Constitution "junk" after she attacked the separation of church and state.
At a hearing of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs on Wednesday, Frost asked witness Amanda Tyler about the violent role of Christian nationalism in America.

Frost pointed out that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had called Christian nationalism a "good thing."

"Junk being the Constitution and Bill of Rights," Frost explained.
