Buttigieg Uses Bible Verse to Slam ‘So-Called Conservative Christian’ Opposing Higher Minimum Wage

‘Scripture says that, “Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their maker”‘

EXCERPT:

BUTTIGIEG: "We have to respond to all of these changes. And, you know, in addition to confronting tech, in addition to supporting workers by double unionization, as I propose to do, some of this is low-tech, too, like the minimum wage is just too low. And so-called conservative Christian senators right now in the Senate are blocking a bill to raise the minimum wage, when scripture says that whoever oppresses the poor taunts their maker." (Applause)
