Romney’s religion was on the table Easter Sunday during religion-themed political talk shows, including NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where Labrador was a guest. Labrador, also a Mormon, was responding to Utah Senator Orrin Hatch’s statement Tuesday that the Obama campaign is “going to throw the Mormon Church at him like you can’t believe.”
“I think the media is going to do that for the Obama campaign,” Labrador said.
As evidence, Labrador cited “nasty things” said Tuesday by MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell.
“Mormonism was created by a guy in upstate New York in 1830 when he got caught having sex with the maid and explained to his wife that God told him to do it,” O’Donnell said on his show. “Forty-eight wives later, Joseph Smith’s lifestyle was completely sanctified in the religion he invented to go with it. Which Mitt Romney says he believes.”
The official website of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints states that “at certain times and for His specific purposes, God, through His prophets, has directed the practice of plural marriage,” but notes that the church officially ended its endorsement of polygamy in 1890.
