I see.
So from now on whenever any GOP shill says something ignorant, we can assign the same scorn to ALL GOP voters?
Will you do the same?
‘Amen and awoman’

Of course, you posting about the unrelated topic of the House replacing gendered language referring to a representative’s family members with gender-neutral terms is just more WHATABOUTISM, but hey, why should you start being consistent now?

I wonder if he has to change his first name in order to do business in the House?

With what? Prayer in Congress? I oppose it. Completely.

It's a war on language. I don't think the leftist lack of prayerfulness is a war on prayer, although there has been a war on worshipping for the past year.

Evidently not, because Rep Cleaver said "Amen" and "Awoman" in Congress. Stupid prayer is still prayer.

Well if you're too ignorant to understand the difference, then there's nothing I can do to help you understand.
I didn't think you could explain, and I was correct. Naturally, I understand why you can't.

Right. Pray on your own. Congress should not have prayer.
Ewomanuel? Epersonuel?
I agree, but that's not the issue here.

Rep. Cleaver Offered Bizarre ‘Degenderizing’ of ‘Amen’ in Opening House Prayer
In a move that Members of Congress were still talking about after the close of their opening session Sunday, Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver, D.-Mo., left jaws hanging when he concluded the opening prayer by “degendering” the word “Amen.”
“Amen,” said Cleaver, 76, a United Methodist pastor, and then added “And A-women.”
“Being that ‘Amen’ has nothing to do with gender and is actually derived from an ancient Hebrew word meaning ‘so be it,’ we never fail to impress here in the Show-Me State, do we?” tweeted former Missouri House Speaker Tim Jones.

No, the issue is you whining about how a priest ended a prayer, then how you tried to change the subject to make your whining seem relevant, and finally how you got called out for your hypocrisy.

If they discussed Trump's attempted coup, then they'd have to acknowledge the truth and condemn his actions, and they will NEVER do that, so they offer up this distraction.
Like this?
DEMOCRAT California Rep. Nancy Pelosi and DEMOCRAT Massachusetts Rep. James McGovern, chairman of the Rules Committee, announced changes to the House rules that will “honor all gender identities” by modifying the pronouns and familial relations references in the rules, the Committee on Rules announced.
“Thanks to the leadership of Chairman McGovern and our Members, Democrats have crafted a package of unprecedented, bold reforms, which will make the House more accountable, transparent and effective in our work to meet the needs of the American people,” Pelosi said in a statement.

It appears that the Reverend Cleaver was complying with Speaker Pelosi's "bold reforms", which appear to be a priority.
Did you think DEMOCRATS were "attempting a coup" when they objected to certifying the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections?
