On 12 September 2016 the Rightists web site published an article reporting that Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine had threatened to ban the Catholic Church from the United States if they did not change their stance on gay marriage: The Rightists is basically a fake news outlet that bills itself as a hybrid web site, publishing articles that are a combination of fact and fiction. Unlike some of its peers (such as Newslo), however, The Rightists a makes no effort to inform their readers about which parts of the story are real and which are fiction: In this case, The Rightists' article veered away from presenting factual information shortly after mention of the first chapter of Genesis. On 10 September 2016, Senator Tim Kaine spoke at a dinner for the Human Rights Campaign and said he believed that the Catholic Church would eventually change their stance on gay marriage: Contrary to the story published by The Rightists, Tim Kaine did not say that the church would (or should) be banned from the United States if they didn't change their stance on gay marriage. In fact, the First Amendment would preclude such an action, even if a President should be rash enough to consider it.
