Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said religious liberty advocates are "weaponizing" the Bible to "justify bigotry," much like "those who justified slavery did."
During a Thursday House Oversight Committee hearing about the Trump administration's "religious liberty assault on LGBTQ rights," Ocasio-Cortez said people using religious exemptions to exclude gay and transgender citizens remind her of those who "weaponized" Scripture to enable slavery, white supremacy, and racism.
"It's very difficult to sit here and listen to arguments in the long history of this country of using Scripture and weaponizing and abusing Scripture to justify bigotry," the New York Democrat said to the panelists present at the committee hearing. "White supremacists have done it. Those who justified slavery did it. Those who fought against integration did it, and we're seeing it today."

When are they going to prosecute this whore for marrying her brother in order to circumvent and/or avoid our immigration laws???
My attorney told me that if immigration authorities find that my wife and I LIED or deceived them in ANY WAY about ANY question, our chances for immigration approval go down somewhere around zero. ANY LIE.
Do you see Two Sets of Laws here??? We, the people get jailed and fined.
