When is the GOP going to call out this anti-semitic fool?

What was it Hitchens said? Religion poisons everything? It’s lucky Jesus didn’t live to see the people invoking his name.

Just more dog whistling — everybody knows that in certain circles ‘Jesus’ is synonymous with ‘trump’. God (the real one!) help us all…

Meanwhile, Jesus actually said:

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward. But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you…

I’m not sure the chill, love-your-neighbor Jesus I heard about at church growing up would have been all that down with weaponizing his name to make someone else feel uncomfortable and thus own the libs. I might even call that wrongful use, what is sometimes written as taking the lord’s name in vain. Maybe Rep. Borowicz went to a different sort of church than I did.

mighty name of Jesus, the one who, at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess, Jesus, that you are Lord, in Jesus’ name,” Borowicz said etc. etc.

Yep. She is from Lock Haven, north central sticks of PA. Even some repubs thought it was out of line, and Speaker Turzai ® had to give her elbow a good nudge or shove to get her to shut up. These invocations are supposed to respect all religions.

Wrong, he is not an “asshole” but a “stupid asshole”. In Islam, Jesus Christ is a very important profit who is mentioned more times in the Quran than is the profit Mohammad.

That is from reading the article and knowing a little about Islam, it was not the mentions of Jesus Crist that were offensive but the entire speech (an opening prayer that mentions Jesus 13 times and invokes Israel and Trump is a speech and not a prayer) taken as a whole that is offensive.

Yep, just a few miles down the road from me. Not my representative, but still really embarrassing and ugly and sad.

And even sadder yet, most of her constituents will applaud her.
