Extremist in the Congress. Ya, that just happened.pic.twitter.com/jxKPyJDOuw
Amendment I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances
Terrorism is a crime in the US.
Second Congressperson in a row from Minneapolis to use that specific book Thomas Jefferson owned to swear an oath to Unity, Justice, Tranquility, Defense of the commons, public welfare & liberty for all people. Thanks for sharing, @israhirsi
Love that she used Thomas Jefferson’s Quran!
What a great American family. Congratulations!!
Which one is your brother husband Ilhan?
Let’s talk about how a woman wearing the hijab has the full support of men in her family (mA). They are NOT “repressing” “oppressing” her as most people assume when it comes to muslim women. That stupid stereotype is being changed by women who wear the hijab and I’m here for it
Beautiful to see such a freedom there! Nice to see you use Quran for your oath!
I find it disgusting. Thomas Jeffersons Quran was never meant to be used for that purpose. We are a Christian Country.
We are a majority Christian country with freedom of religion guaranteed by the Constitution's 1st amendment. Article 6 discusses an oath to the CONSTITUTION, and makes no reference to the Bible. As a matter of fact, article 6 bans any religious test as a qualification for office.
Welll Rocky. I have had many American friends and I know they respect and believe in religious pluralism! if article 6 says oath should be to the constitution so it's not a problem for anyone in the Hill I guess!
A really inspiring and wonderful moment...

Go YOU! Go America for the vote. Proud of this moment of diversity and inclusion.
This is so beautiful in so many ways.
Wait! Someone is missing from that picture? Oh, I know, I know. Antisemitic Louis Farrakhan, Democrats’ darling.

No wonder the GOP is in chaos. Real America is being represented in Congress.
