Behar to Coney Barrett: Sorry about that whole you-belong-to-a-hate-group thing, 'k?

Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s religious faith is being called into question again. There are calls for her to recuse herself from a case which is about a web designer who wants to post a statement that she won’t design wedding websites for same-sex couples because it’s against her religious beliefs.

Now here’s my question. Does she is, you know, a religious person. She belongs to the people of praise group which the — the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled them a hate group, and their founder has questioned the so-called separation of church and state. They believe that sex should occur only within marriage and, of course, between a man and a woman. They’ve got very specific things that they believe.

However, People of Praise is not labeled a hate group by the SPLC.

At the top of Tuesday’s show, Behar apologized.

“I have to clarify something I said yesterday. I want to correct something. I said on air when I stated that People of Praise had been deemed a hate group, I just got them mixed up with another group. It was inaccurate,” she said. “So I don’t think that’s right that I should – I have to say, you know, sorry about that … Anyway. I conflated them.”
