Rep. Mary Miller ― a Republican from Illinois who once praised Adolf Hitler ― wrote, edited and ultimately deleted a social media post decrying “a Muslim” speaking in Congress.
“It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should have never been allowed to happen,” she wrote Friday. “American was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth. May God have mercy!”
The man leading the prayer was guest chaplain Giani Singh, a follower of the Sikh faith, not Islam. Miller’s Republican colleague Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) introduced him as such on Friday.
Pepperidge farms remembers when bigots were shamed away from talking not their target minorities.
Dumbfuck can’t even get her religions straight, and apparently she thinks America was founded to be a Christian theocracy. Astoundingly ignorant and misinformed, yet there she sits Congress, governing the nation with her 2 brain cells.
American was founded as a Christian nation
– Every American Christian Bigot
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
– First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States
🤔
It literally says “Congress,” of which she is a member.
Every newly elected Congressional Rep and Senator should have to pass a difficult, graduate-level test on the history of the United States, and the Constitution, before being sworn into office. You can’t be sworn in until you pass the test. These people are tasked with leading our country. Knowing the basics is the least we can demand of them.
And they won’t be paid until they pass either.
Don’t forget:
The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.
– John Adams
Thomas Jefferson had his own personally edited version of the Bible that focused on the philosophies and stories in the Bible, and left out the supernatural mythology and fairy tales. There were parts of the religion he liked, but he was clearly uncomfortable with the actual religious parts of it.
And he actually WROTE the founding documents.
Honestly who could say what they meant by that, it’s such an open to interpretation remark.
Good thing we know exactly what they meant in the second amendment.
The thing you have to realize is that some words change meaning over time. If you check a dictionary from the time, you’ll find that back then “regulated” meant… oh, looks like it meant the exact same thing it means today. Huh, looks like it’s meant the same thing since it was taken from Latin. Fancy that.
Yes but they’re going to go extinct if we cut off their arms.
Why the FUCK would I Care about the Constitution or Founders?
-Pro Life People who Defend MASS CHILD KILLERS because of the Second Amendment!
Well you see, the thing about conservatives is that they are fucking stupid.
And they celebrate their ignorance…
Trump loves the poorly educated, he said so himself. And they want daddy trump to love them.
That’s what he says to his reflection in the mirror every morning.
America is fucked
People of the land… you know… morons
Why is the common clay so common?
Why does the House of Representatives even have prayer in the mornings to begin with?
Seriously. When is the designated time for thoughts?
“Thoughts and prayers!”
“Uh we’d like some more thoughts, please.”
“Well we’re OUT of thoughts! We only had three bits and we didn’t expect such a rush.”
“So my choice is ‘and prayers’? I’ll have the chicken then, please.”
Because 'Murica
Yet another Sikh man misidentified as a Muslim (not that it would matter if they were) by some backwood dumb fuck using weaponized religion.
Surprise twist: He redirected all your Christian prayers to Waheguru and you’re all now an additional cycle away from Mukti.
Religion is cancer.
Mary Miller represents district 15 which surrounds but does not include both Springfield and St. Louis. It is 90% white, 2.9% black, and 2.8% Hispanic. There are basically no non-Republican elected officials above the county level and voted overwhelmingly for Trump. This district became home of the second resurgence of the KKK in Illinois in the 1920s and has stayed their home through resurgences in the 1950s and 1990s.
One of the most insufferable people I have ever known lives in her district. He moved there willingly because of politics. I cut ties entirely over a year ago and it’s been great.
I almost feel less bald for it. (A lie.)
I think it is far more troubling if the world’s only superpower regularly has prayer sessions in their top leadership…
Wow, this is exactly what someone who 1. doesn’t practice real Evangelical Christianity would say 2. would believe not having studied the most basic of United States history.
The separation of Church and State is exactly that. The Colonist came to North American because they didn’t like how the Church of England was being operated. In practice they might not have wanted other religious groups to have such freedom but if you try to take the Bill of Rights and Constitution at face value, then you as a person in the United States government have no reason to judge them for being a non-Christian. Much like how I much challenge you to prove you belong to a well regulated militia when you own a gun.

😂 🤣
As if whatever lessons she may have been exposed to in school were not simply written off as the school personnel trying to “groom her” and/or “fuck up her faith” for their own liberal ends…
😂
I mean, let’s be real. The Pilgrims caught a ride. This country was basically founded by tobacco companies. The Virginia and Plymouth companies weren’t charities.
Fucking idiot piece of shit jesu-fried fuckwit.
this woman has no knowledge of any event before lunch today
Cancel her ass and move along. She doesn’t deserve any attention other than to oust her from office
Can’t wait for TST to show up!
Would this be considered ad hominem?
