Dan Patrick: Joe Biden has sold this country out

A large majority of Americans are not convinced by President Biden's presentation of himself as a "devout Catholic," according to a new poll from Pew Research.
The poll, conducted in late February, found that just 13% of Americans think of Biden as "very religious," while 41% say he is "somewhat religious" and another 44% say he is "not at all" or "not too religious."
The polling comes despite Biden's own description of himself as a "devout Catholic" who attends church regularly. The White House has also used the term to describe Biden when defending his aggressive pro-choice stance on abortion.
Biden has had a fractious relationship with the Catholic Church since gaining office, with Pope Francis criticizing his views on abortion in July 2021. Francis argued that Biden's faith and pro-choice views were a display of "incoherence."

The pair met in person later that year, however, and Biden says Francis encouraged him to continue receiving Communion.
