McKay Statement Condemning Egregious Overreach of Freedom of Speech


Warwick, RI — Ray McKay, Republican candidate for the US Senate, released the following statement condemning the Biden administration’s recent actions against the Knights of Columbus.

“The denial of a permit for their longstanding Memorial Day mass at Poplar Grove National Cemetery is an unacceptable infringement on our constitutional rights,” said McKay. “The Biden administration’s actions against the Knights of Columbus’ Memorial Day mass constitute a direct assault on religious freedom and free speech. This overreach must be condemned.

“Unlike Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who remains silent, I will always stand up for our constitutional rights,” McKay said.
