How to use unseemly in a sentence?

1. Mike Huckabee:

   I'm less concerned about what faith the person has. I'm more concerned about the authenticity of their faith and how that plays out in their politics... I'm also concerned about a guy that believes he's a Christian and pretends to be and then says he is, but then does things that makes it very difficult for people to practice their Christian faith, i'm disappointed if someone says,' I'm a Christian,' but you invite the pope into your home and then you invite a whole bunch of people who are at odds with the Catholic Church policy. I think there's something very unseemly about that.

2. Matthew Vadum:

   The Cosby art collection displayed in the National Museum of African Art serves as part of this man's public relations offensive while the public battle over his misdeeds rages, it is unseemly for the taxpayers who fund the museum to be forced to play a role in rehabilitating Cosby's image.

3. Chuck Schumer:

   It is unseemly to be moving forward so fast on confirming a Supreme Court justice with a lifetime appointment while this big gray cloud of an FBI investigation hangs over the presidency, you can bet if the shoe were on the other foot and a Democratic president was under investigation by the FBI the Republicans would be howling at the moon about filling a Supreme Court seat in such circumstances. Elizabeth Warren added on Twitter :.

4. Roger Pilon:

   Today, of course, the redistributive powers of Congress are everywhere -- except in the Constitution. The result is the feeding frenzy that is modern Washington, the Hobbesian war of all against all as each tries to get his share and more of the common pot the tax system fills. ... It is unseemly and wrong. More than that, it is unconstitutional, whatever the slim and cowed majority on the New Deal Court may have said.

5. Jean Baptiste Poquelin Molire:

   A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.
