Rep. Mary Miller Loses It Over 'A Muslim' Speaking In Congress
www.huffpost.com
"May God have mercy!" said Miller, who tweaked her post to attack Sikhs instead before deleting it all together.

Rep. Mary Miller ― a Republican from Illinois who once praised Adolf Hitler ― wrote, edited and ultimately deleted a social media post decrying “a Muslim” speaking in Congress.

“It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should have never been allowed to happen,” she wrote Friday. “American was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth. May God have mercy!”

The man leading the prayer was guest chaplain Giani Singh, a follower of the Sikh faith, not Islam. Miller’s Republican colleague Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) introduced him as such on Friday.

      Don’t forget:

      The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.

      – John Adams

        Honestly who could say what they meant by that, it’s such an open to interpretation remark.
