GOP Rep. Whines About Muslim Man Leading Prayer (He Wasn't Muslim)
GOP Representative Mary Miller—who once said that Adolf Hitler was "right about one thing"—wrongly identified a Sikh man as Muslim in a racist X post regarding who was allowed to lead prayer in the House.
"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 on X over a picture of Giani Singh, a Sikh Granthi from southern New Jersey who was welcomed to give the prayer by Republican Representative Jeff Van Drew. "America was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth, not drift further from it. May God have mercy," she concluded.
The Illinois representative then edited her post, changing "Muslim" to "Sikh" before just deleting the post entirely.
