It was quite a Moment when the anti-LGBTQ+ Mike Pence swore in Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona as the country's first bisexual senator on Thursday.

Not only did Sinema show up in an unforgettable Marilyn Monroe-meets Elle Woods-meets blonde Miss Frizzle outfit, but she swore on a law book containing the U.S. Constitution rather than a Bible. The book included the texts of the U.S. and Arizona constitutions, according to The Arizona Republic.

"Kyrsten always gets sworn in on a Constitution simply because of her love for the Constitution," her spokesperson John LaBombard told the newspaper.

...

"While the number of self-identified Christians in Congress has ticked down, Christians as a whole — and especially Protestants and Catholics — are still overrepresented in proportion to their share in the general public," according to Pew Research. "Indeed, the religious makeup of the new, 116th Congress is very different from that of the United States population."

Sinema broke the mold in more than one way on Thursday. The first Democrat since 1988 to win a Senate race in Arizona, as well as the first bisexual and second openly LGBTQ+ person in the Senate (along with Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat from Wisconsin), she can also count herself as the only member of Congress who openly considers themselves religiously unaffiliated.

That's a tiny sliver of Congress when you consider that 23% of Americans identify as either atheist, agnostic, or "nothing in particular." But it's a start, and it should have religious extremists like Mike Pence quaking in their shiny shoes.

[but the fuzzy toilet seat cover really made it pop]

Yes, that would be warm in the wintertime.

I do hope she got the matching floor mat and bath mat. Usually they’re in a set.

I never knew anyone wore them as a clothing accessory.

Some have suggested liberals from California moved there and changed things.Funny how that works...a state/country gets more "socialist" and folks don't like it and move out...then proceed to turn their new place into the paradise they just left. This is going on all over the US.

[SaveFerris]

yep

[tflabo]

She can deny God’s book but the greater tragedy for her is she may not be in His book of heavens entrants.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

That shawl is for real??? OMG are you sure this was not photo shopped???

[SaveFerris]

I will go so far as to say she’s probably not. She’s openly-defying in the public square.

While she’s alive, she has time to correct that.

[SaveFerris]

I just hope she put the floor mat down so her feet will be warm on those cold nights.

I don’t think it’s mink (not that you said it was). It looks more like a type of rat.

Could make a nice discount hat from Bob Sacamento.

[shanover]

The Republic will be dead within a few election cycles. USA will be in name only.

[null and void]

What in BLAZES is wrong with AZ?

Nobody wears a hat in the sun?

[ronniesgal]

being sleeveless is criminal now?

[TLI]

But it's a start, and it should have religious extremists like Mike Pence quaking in their shiny shoes.

Religious extremists?

Mike Pence?

But the foul mouth muzanamal is to be admired for adhering to this...

As for the "bisexual and second openly LGBTQ+ person" thing with any luck the STDs will kick in before the mental disorders cause them to go berserk on the House floor and they attack someone.

And it will not be Mike Pence.

[CincyRichieRich]

No, it’s her hatred of God.

[funfan]

She might have just burst into flames if she was sworn in on a bible.

[jjotto]

As in the House, the legal oath is taken on the Senate floor without props, followed by a kabuki photo op oath in the ‘Old Senate Chamber’ where senators bring their favorite props.

The had a blurb about her last night on Channel 3 news from Pensacola saying she had ties to Northwest Florida. She graduated valedictorian from DeFuniak Springs high school.

[rktman]

OMG! Not DeFuniak Springs. They should hide their faces for not raisin’ her better. LOL!

Sorry to say, this has infected many parts of America.

We are in the days of Lot and the days of Noah as Jesus Christ described them in the Gospels (various places in there).

The horror of 9/11/2001 put many people back in churches.

I don’t think it (church attendance) faded so quickly but the Leftists definitely crept in.

The Democrats will corrupt every aspect of what America used to be. Obama is their spiritual guide and Hillary is a high priestess.

One of the “comedians” that hated on Presidential candidate Trump said we were trying to avoid the apocalypse and half of America just voted for the asteroid.

It’s Democrats who repeatedly vote for the asteroid (figuratively).

[SaveFerris]

I agree

[Rastus]

She could apparently tell you all you need to know about carpet matching the drapes.
