NJ-07’s Bennett caught on tape: “I cannot sit in this church full of people who voted for Trump”

TDS is capable of making the afflicted give up relationships with their friends, dating prospects, and even families.

Sometimes? Even God gets cut out!

On Tuesday, The Washington Free Beacon posted audio from a February 2026 Rebecca Bennett event in which the future NJ-07 Democrat nominee declared she gave up on church for a time because there were too many Trumpies in the pews…

“I will say I use that word intentionally, and the reason that I do it is because, so, I grew up in the Presbyterian Church, and after Trump got elected, I stopped going to church for the first time in my life, because I was like, ‘I cannot sit in this room of people.’ At the time, I was stationed somewhere that was pretty conservative. I was still in the military at the time. I was like, ‘I cannot sit in this church full of people who voted for Trump.’ And then, ultimately, I decided they do not get to decide what Christianity looks like, and to me, it’s the same thing abou… they do not get to decide what patriotism is. You do not get to wrap yourself in the flag while you are literally murdering Americans in broad daylight.”

Bennett is challenging Tom Kean Jr. in the November race for New Jersey’s most competitive remaining House seat.
