House Democrat opens his mouth, proves he’s a politically correct idiot

by The Right Scoop

Yesterday a House Democrat decided he would try and be politically correct by saying ‘amen and awomen’ at the end of his prayer before the House:

INDEPENDENT – Democrat representative Emanuel Cleaver caused a stir online after he ended his congressional prayer with the words “amen and awoman.”

Mr Cleaver was invited to deliver the prayer opening up the 117th Congress on Sunday, when he decided to introduce a gesture towards gender neutrality.

“We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God… God known by many names and by many different faiths. Amen, and awoman,” said Mr Cleaver, a representative from Missouri and an ordained United Methodist pastor.

But all he did was prove he’s an idiot. As many were quick to point out that the word had nothing to do with gender:

However, it received strong criticism from Republicans and several others as they pointed out that amen does not refer to gender but means “so be it” in Latin.

Pennsylvania’s Republican representative Guy Reschenthaler took to Twitter to voice his objection, and said: “Unfortunately, facts are irrelevant to progressives. Unbelievable.”

It gets worse:

It comes after a committee proposed changes in house rules to “honour all gender identities”, and eliminate gendered words like “mother,” “father,” “he,” and “she” in favour of gender-neutral terms.

Welcome to the new radical Democrat House of Representatives, where there is no male and female as God made them.

BONUS: Cleaver is Methodist but appears to be praying to a Hindu god:
