The First Amendment protects your right to pray in a public space. It protects your right to demonstrate in a public space,&#8221; Hawley said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And these are people who were singled out by the last administration, the most anti-Christian administration in our country&#8217;s history. They were singled out to frankly be terrorized using lawfare to make a point, to try to silence all the rest of us, to try to put everybody who&#8217;s a person of faith in fear of speaking out and exercising your faith and your freedoms in public. And so, Tony, these convictions are unjust. The application of the law to them in this way was unjust, and I hope the president will very soon pardon these folks and get them out of prison. As you said, 20-plus are still in prison right now.
