She also declared that Congress should support the “truth” that “America was established as a Christian nation,” according to screenshots shared by multiple outlets.
The Democrats wereted no time denounced Miller for her remarks.
“Mary, you’re a racist, prejudiced, disgusting, shameful. You don’t deserve to represent anyone in public office.” I said Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost, Democrat of Florida.
“It is deeply troublesome that such a person who is emptied of religious freedom is allowed to serve this body.” Added Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Democrat of New Jersey. “This should never happen.”
California Democrat Jared Huffman also swings. write: “I often say I serve in Parliament with some of the greatest minds of the 18th century.
“Deeply intrusive are blatant ignorance, anti-Sikhs, anti-Muslim xenophobia coming from colleagues across the aisle.” I said Democrat Grace Meng, New York. “Because of this hatred and intolerance, we have no place in our country, especially in the halls of Parliament. The tweet may have been deleted, but we still have receipts.”
Rep. Veronica Escobar, Democrat of Texas; It reminded me of Miller What the Constitution says: “Our country was established under the Constitution. This carries a great deal of care that religious freedom is in the first amendment. Not only is it racist, it disgraces the “foundation papers” you reference. ”
Even some Republicans had problems with the post.
