Congress may be out of town for the month, but lawmakers are still finding time to argue with each other over various issues. On Tuesday evening, it was about religion.
It began when Elizabeth Marbach, the communications director for an anti-abortion group in Ohio, said on Twitter that there's "no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone."
Marbach, according to her biography on Ohio Right to Life, believes "the only path forward in the fight against abortion is to allow the bible alone to define the issue and to reject the temptation to remove God from the conversation."
"She believes that scripture alone is our sole authority and should be our ultimate guide in all things—including politics," the biography adds.
But Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio — a former Trump administration official and one of just two Jewish House Republicans — took issue with the tweet.
"This is one of the most bigoted tweets I have ever seen," he wrote. "Delete it, Lizzie."
He suggested in a reply to Marbach's tweet that he took issue with the idea that those who don't follow Jesus have "no hope."
"God says that Jewish people are the chosen ones, but yet you say we have no hope," he wrote. "Thanks for your pearl of wisdom today."
But then the conversation took another twist, when Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — one of just three Muslim members of the House — vocally defended Marbach.
"Stating the core beliefs or principles of your faith isn't bigoted as Lizzie did, its religious freedom and no one should be scolded for that," she wrote, accusing Miller of "harassing people who freely express their beliefs."
One notable sub-plot: Miller was the primary sponsor of the GOP-led resolution that booted Omar off of the House Foreign Affairs Committee over past comments about Israel that many considered to be anti-Semitic.
"That's her actual belief, you can disagree but it's not bigoted for her to say what her beliefs are," Omar later added. "That's all."
Miller later apologized, saying his original tweet "conveyed a message I did not intend."

*grabs my chest*
IT'S THE BIG ONE ELIZABETH! I'M COMING TO JOIN YOU!
Only because the congressman is a Republican.
When is someone going to grow a pair and have IllHand deported?
[A Muslima sticking up for a Christian woman?]
Or a Muslima attacking a Jewish man...
Max Miller needs to be more tolerant and not too short fused.
Could Max handle the Messianic Judaism of the grandmother who gave me the message of Faith and Conservatism when I was a young man?
The nasty man deserves to be attacked
Loved that show. ;O)
And shown the error of his ways.
Well we had a jewish man attacking a Christian woman
I did too, it was a classic.
I am not arguing whether he is nasty or deserves it. I think the only reason Ilhan Omar defended a Christian pro-lifer was so she could bash a Jew and a “sponsor of the GOP-led resolution that booted Omar off of the House Foreign Affairs Committee”. If a Dem., Muslim, or GOP-e had criticized Marbach, I don’t think we would have heard a peep out of Omar.
I too am Jewish, and think Max Miller is a piece of crap. Why couldn’t he keep his opinion to himself? And why did he use his wife to get her FIRED over it? Despicable. Should resign or be primaried.
God does have a Prophetic Word to share for all who perish without the forgiveness of Calvary through the Atoning Blood of Jesus:
Revelation 20:
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
I don’t think I have ever agreed with anything Ilhan Omar has said or done.
Sure was.
You missed the part where the guy she went against is Jewish.
Her overriding anti-Semitism explains it.
“ Only because the congressman is a Republican.”
Jewish Republican. Omar hates Jewish people.
Omar is one of us.
Lol
Politicians should be too busy with more important things to respond to every random tweet on the Internet.
Getting involved in pointless squabbles like this is our job, not what Max Miller was elected for.
