The Heartland Signal reports:
At the start of the new legislative session, a group of North Dakota legislators put forward a potentially unconstitutional resolution that would have the state “acknowledge the Kingship of Jesus Christ.”
“Whereas, the founding fathers of this great state begin the constitution with the words, ‘We’, the people of North Dakota, grateful to Almighty God … We desire there shall be a recognition of Almighty God as the source of authority; of the Lord Jesus Christ as the rightful ruler of nations…” the text for House Concurrent Resolution 3020 reads.
The bill — which reflects a broader trend of Christian nationalism amongst conservative lawmakers — comes from Rep. Nico Rios (R-Williston). The representative previously created an uproar over antisemitic comments he made on social media last week. “Wonder if the CIA would help Trump overthrow and kick this Jew out of power in Mexico?” Rios said in a post last Sunday [about Mexico’s president].

Rios first appeared here last year when he spewed anti-Hispanic and anti-gay slurs at the state trooper arresting him for DUI.
It’s what Jesus would want.
The piece linked above notes that the cosponsors of the bill are the same ones who last month signed onto a call to overturn Obergefell.
