No Sleeves, No Bible, No Problem: This Is How You Take The Oath Of Office In 2019 (BARF ALERT)
Yahoo.com ^ | Refinery29 | Natalie Gontcharova

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.

Ran across this last night. This is the typical bias the media puts out to brainwash the masses.

The Vice President had a job to do and these people are still taking shots. Peruse some of the comments and you'll see what we're up against.

“....always gets sworn in on a Constitution simply because of her love for the Constitution”! UH, I call BS on that one. Maybe her love of obfuscating the constitution.

First openly bisexual senator, maybe. There have probably been others. Harris Wofford, for a start.

Maybe they do. Maybe they’re just trying to brainwash all who will be voting in the next election.

Is this another one of those fake "conservatives are outraged!" stories like the AOC dancing video?

All I've read is that Vice President Pence was red-faced with fury at having to swear in the bisexual atheist Simena on a copy of the Constitution.

I can't find any actual evidence of this. Only photos of Pence smiling as he carries out his task.

Some have suggested liberals from California moved there and changed things.

And then we had traitor McCain (D).

There are a lot of attacks on the VP in the comments.

As well as this garbage “article” in one form or another.

Well, there’s apparently an affinity for Democrats in certain areas - like many states.

Apologize for not getting to all the comments. I read many of the comments at Yahoo last night.

Her Sandals Beach Club outfit was bad enough, but the fuzzy toilet seat cover really made it pop.
