Ugh. Stop posting these things. She isn’t going to start saying intelligent things all the sudden. We’re just giving her the attention she craves.

Someone going to tell her that we even had a US president get sworn in on a copy of the Quran?

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be Required as a Qualification To any Office or public Trust under the United States.

That whack job only has eyes for the 2nd Amendment and somehow missed the whole no religious tests for office part of the Constitution. :-/

She can suck on a Jewish space laser for all I care. We already know she has no place in Congress.

This kind of news about her is more fun

Also, it has been noted that it is perverse to swear anything on the Bible which is a book that specifically advises against doing such a thing because it implies that you are not trustworthy in and of yourself…

LBJ was sworn in on a catholic missal when a bible could not be found on Air Force One, and Adams swore his oath on the constitution. But to my knowledge, the Quran has never been used to swear in a US president.

Looks like Mrs. Taylor Green is trying very hard to work her way to a (near) future presidency. And by the looks and the amount of attention she’s already getting, she might very well succeed.

As if that goofball could quote the 2nd Amendment. “The right of white people to bear Armalites shall not be impinged. Militia! Benghazi!”

Forget all the factual information posted. Her argument isn’t even internally consistent:

  1. They were sworn in on a Quran, which makes them illegitiate.
  2. There’s now some alleged law that requires a Christian bible to be used (nevermind that there isn’t one)
  3. That law hadn’t passed yet at the time they swore on the Quran.

If you have met the legal requirements at that point in time, you are legitimate. If the legal requirements change, that takes effect during the start of your next term. Retroactive changes are very rare.

Just ask her to quote the names (not quotes) of books of the Old Testament. If she can’t get past Genesis and Exodus, she needs a new Job.
