WATCH: Trump promises to defend religious freedom and the 2nd amendment | 2020 State of the Union

President Donald Trump promised in his annual State of the Union Address to defend religious liberty and Second Amendment right to bear arms. “In America, we do not punish prayer. We do not tear down crosses. We do not ban symbols of faith. We do not muzzle preachers and pastors. In America, we celebrate faith. We cherish religion,” Trump said.

Trump delivered his annual State of the Union address on Tuesday, Feb. 4. The speech came the day before he is expected to be acquitted of articles of impeachment in the Senate and a day after voting in the 2020 presidential nomination process kicked off in Iowa.
