MRFF’S MIKEY WEINSTEIN REBUKES

DUFFY’S USMMA FOOTBALL GAME VIDEO:

“YOU HAVE CHRISTIAN MEN DEDICATED TO 

COUNTRY … THIS IS AMERICA AT ITS FINEST”

Can you imagine the putrid and boundless conceit of that piece of shit Duffy and how it must’ve made everyone else feel who saw that video at the United States Merchant Marine Academy, or any place else for that matter? We here a the Military Religious Freedom Foundation have heard from Academy faculty, staff, midshipmen, and graduates who are neither Christians nor male and as you might imagine they are furious.”

Watch this 23 second video: “Christian men dedicated to country … America at its finest”


By: MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein


Monday, September 8, 2025

If you actually need more proof that MAGA is full-on Christian nationalist please take a quick look at this very short video which was shot last Friday afternoon at the United States Merchant Marine Academy during Parents Weekend, starring Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy. The Academy was playing Montclair State in football and actually won the game 29 to 15.


But what is far more revelatory and critically important than the game’s score are the despicable words that Duffy vomited out in a video right before kickoff.

Transcribed from video: 

“The excitement on this field for this Academy is remarkable. They have the most amazing prayer. You have Christian men dedicated to country ready for a great game. This is America at its finest.”

Can you imagine the putrid and boundless conceit of that piece of shit Duffy and how it must’ve made everyone else feel who saw that video at the United States Merchant Marine Academy, or any place else for that matter? We here at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation have heard from Academy faculty, staff, midshipmen, and graduates who are neither Christians nor male and as you might imagine they are furious.


Look, all of us with even the slightest shred of a brain know that Sean Duffy is an asshole and a servile and effusive bootlicker of tRump, as are everybody in his cabinet and every other senior or even mid-level position in his “Administration of Unconstitutional Hell.” Further, we know from his past with the giant “Jesus on the Water” painting exactly where his hopelessly stained loyalties lie — with Jesus, MAGA, and tRump, and of course, not necessarily in that order.


I often remind everybody that our job here at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation is to chronicle, expose, intervene, and attack. The purpose of highlighting Duffy’s pre-game Christian/male supremacist video actually accomplishes all four goals for anyone who still cares about the beauty and literal genius of our United States Constitution and its framers.


I'm not going to waste any time trying here to explain to you how egregious this is. Seeing and hearing that video says it all.

Just like I shouldn't have to explain to anybody that pouring gasoline on a newborn litter of puppies and then dropping in a lighted match is also wretchedly illegal, immoral, and horrifying.


If you're not able to see or understand that what Duffy said here in this brief video before the Parents Weekend football game only further underscores, for the umpteenth time, the pervasive and pernicious pattern and practice of poisonous Christian nationalism in this country, then I feel very sorry for you. You are an uninformed and blind imbecile, and I have no time to waste on you.

Our nation's military academies were once the shining jewels of America’s national security. And now every single one of them have perverted their mission by taking and bowing to the prejudice, hatred, and bigotry of tRump and his lickspittle cronies, such as the craven coward Sean Duffy and all of the other sycophants who support him in government or any other place.


Don't be one of them!


Fight the hell back!


I've said it a million times and I will say it millions of times more: you either resist or you collaborate and if you do neither you are collaborating.


Do the right thing!
