    Virginia GOP Chairman John Whitbeck said committee member Fredy Burgos should resign, and he told The Washington Post on Monday that efforts are underway to remove him if he won’t.

    In a Facebook post, Burgos posted a quote from John Jay, the first chief justice of the Supreme Court, that calls on Christians “to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” Burgos states that “having preference for Christians over non-Christians as political leaders is not bigoted.”

    Burgos was supporting a candidate for a Fairfax County party post who is running against a Jewish candidate.

    Burgos says his comments were misconstrued.

    There’s a difference between favorig one group and being anti another. If we say vote for a yid that’s ok. If we say don’t vote for this that or the other group that’s more of a problem.
