Earlier this year Mickelson got a laugh from Rep. Tom Latham when he asked the Iowa GOP congressman: “There’s a bus full of nuns headed towards Washington to lobby against the Ryan plan,” Mickelson said during a conversation with Rep. Tom Latham “Do you have any power to pull the nuns on the bus over and pistol whip them?”
Mickelson was referring to the National Catholic Social Justice Lobby (NETWORK), an outfit of Catholic Sisters who recently came under Vatican scrutiny for focusing too much on issues like social and economic justice, rather than fighting abortion and marriage equality. The nuns spoke out about the fact that Ryan’s proposal would disproportionately hit low-income Americans.
