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.

lol

[SaveFerris]

The fake news media is trying to make it happen by the next election cycle.

[SaveFerris]

I just wanna know if she wore white after Labor Day....

[SaveFerris]

Gonna be something else when radical liberals and fundamentalist Muslims finally have a go.

The liberals will be begging for Bible-believing Christians to save them.

Meanwhile, they’re trying to make as few of the latter as possible.

We could say we told them so but it wouldn’t matter before then.

TFTI

[Baynative]

some style, eh?

“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,”

They love playing the quota game but only when it suits their agenda.

[SaveFerris]

Definitely an agenda.

Hence, the keywords.

or had unshaved armpits! ( could be considered criminal)

“...Christians as a whole — and especially Protestants and Catholics — are still overrepresented in proportion to their share in the general public,”

Pelosi self-identifies as a Catholic, are they suggesting we get rid of them? Maybe we should we start with her?

[SaveFerris]

One of the commenters at Yahoo said the world will be a much better place without Christians.

He/she/it will eventually get their wish. One way or another.

Arizona has much open election fraud; one huge example is where Maricopa County had 5 illegal "Emergency Voting Centers" situated where the most illegal aliens are. In these centers no ID was needed. Then Sinema volunteers harvested the illegal aliens by canvasing the area with door hangers explaining where the illegal "Emergency Voting Centers" were. Sheriff Joe was taken out long ago (replaced by a corrupt Democrat) and is probably senile since he helped RINO McSally win the primary.

Arizona's Attorney General is a RINO who used to be a lobbyist so all the election crime was ignored. I'm assuming DNC either bribed or blackmailed him. This is the world we live in and it's not good.

Social media has created a narcissist’s paradise for the, “Look at me!” crowd.

This guy was our pResident for 8 years....

[an amused spectator]

She would have used a Necronomicon if she could have gotten away with it.

[SaveFerris]

And.....

[CAluvdubya]

he only member of Congress who openly considers themselves religiously unaffiliated.

She may not have used a Bible but she still swore under oath to God. Pence said it and she replied "I do" LOL

[SaveFerris]

The spirit of Anton LaVey is probably with her.....

[SaveFerris]

Well, there is the (temporary) “god” of this world.

2nd Corinthians 4:3-4.

[umgud]

Agreed.
