Newsmax anchor Tom Basile dropped a stunning monologue on his show America Right Now over the weekend, calling into question Vice President Kamala Harris’s faith.

Basile delivered his monologue over a muted clip of Harris speaking and said, “Talking about going to church as a child and quoting Second Corinthians a couple of times isn’t necessarily evidence that you’re a Christian or a believer in biblical values.”

“Her mother was Hindu. Her estranged father has been tied to Marxism — an atheistic ideology,” Basile continued, glossing over the fact that Harris’s father was raised in the Anglican Church in Jamaica and served as an acolyte.

“Her stepdaughter is a pro-Palestinian left-wing activist. Miss Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, have nailed a mezuzah to the front door post at the Naval Observatory, and they’ve hosted a Passover Seder. But that doesn’t mean that her own faith is tethered to biblical values in any real sense,” continued the Newsmax host in a now-viral clip, concluding:

Perhaps no political figure on a national ticket in recent memory has so assiduously avoided mentioning in public statements about the Bible or biblical values, or even Almighty God as Miss Harris. There is therefore plenty of reason to wonder whether the Vice President is committed to the religious and biblical underpinnings of the country. And if she is a Christian, well, then what kind of Christian is she?

The Associated Press profiled Harris in late July, focusing on her Baptist faith. “A Baptist married to a Jewish man, she’s inspired by the work of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and influenced by the religious traditions of her mother’s native India as well as the Black Church,” wrote the AP.

“She’s had the best of two worlds,” Harris’s longtime pastor, the Rev. Amos Brown of Third Baptist Church in San Francisco told the AP.

Jamal Simmons, a pastor’s son and Harris’ former communications director, also told the AP that “The vice president has a strong Christian faith that she’s talked about a lot. She was raised in a Christian church, and attended Christian churches throughout her life, and I think that still influences her, her worldview and her ethical commitments.”

Basile wrapped up his lengthy monologue by attacking Harris’s pastor. “Miss Harris claims to have been a member of the Third Baptist Church in San Francisco for many years, though it’s unclear the last time she attended services there, or at any church for that matter, not related to a political event or a funeral. More troubling is the fact that Third Baptist is led by the Reverend Amos Brown, who Miss Harris has called, quote, a voice of leadership and said that she is proud to have him as her pastor. Well, here’s the problem for Miss Harris Reverend Brown is perhaps even more radical than the Obama’s Reverend Jeremiah Wright.”
