Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) attempt at being “woke” and clever failed miserably on the first day of the 117th Congress.
Side question: Did Cleaver wear two masks? I cannot with these people.
Cleaver ended the prayer with “A-man. And A-woman.”
The Democrats want to implement a rule that eliminates sex-based words like father, mother, aunt, brother, etc.
But Cleaver forgot something important: Amen has nothing to do with gender or sex!
I cannot believe I have to write out the definition.
