Rep. Justin Harris
The face of courage, according to the Family Council Action Committee.
It's hard to forget Arkansas Rep. Justin Harris. He and his wife gave away two girls they'd adopted to a man who went on to rape the six-year-old daughter. The story took on several bizarre twists as reports surfaced that Harris and his wife performed exorcisms on the girls before they gave them away, claiming the three-year-old and six-year-old girls were possessed by demons.
Disgusting, right? Well, not to the Family Council Action Committee, which is presenting an award to Harris at an event headlined by creepy Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz. From the Arkansas Times:
The Family Council Action Committee will today present its first annual "Power of Courage" awards to two Arkansas state legislators, Rep. Charlene Fite (R-Van Buren) and Rep. Justin Harris (R-West Fork).
The group's press release say Fite and Harris "demonstrated courage by standing strong in faith when situations were tough at the State Capitol and they did so with grace. They are consistently models of their Christian values in their homes, their communities, and their churches." It commends the two lawmakers for their work on legislation regarding abortion.
"Models of their Christian values in their homes." More from the Family Council Action Committee press release (via Arkansas Times):
Representative Harris is the owner and founder of Growing God’s Kingdom Preschool in West Fork and is serving his 3rd term as state representative. He has always been a strong advocate for home schoolers and the unborn. Even when opposed by the liberal media, Representative Harris has always held firm and stood tall in his faith. No one can deny Representative Harris’ faith has always led him while serving at the Arkansas State Capitol. In 2015, Harris sponsored the Parental Involvement Enhancement Act, requiring parents to be involved in their children’s decision to terminate life by requesting an abortion. This is now law today. Representative Harris will not be seeking re-election.
There really are no words.
