Fucking Arizona, doing its best to become Alabama. She should have thrown those bibles in the trash can. And her apology was pathetic. Own it! Separation of Church and state is constituted. Why doesn’t the left stand on this as vigorously as the right gun wackos stand on the 2nd?
Excellent work. We need more separation from the church. If you wanna go to church, go right ahead. Read the bible at home all you want. Keep it out of laws and schools.
Two bibles were in the “members-only space”. I guess just a lounge? A Republican spokesperson said the bibles have been there for decades.
Democrat representative took the bibles there and “hid” them elsewhere in the lounge (in the fridge, under cushions).
Unclear what the bibles were doing in there in the first place. (State property, or just items discarded there and never taken out?)
Unclear what Hamilton was expecting to accomplish by repeatedly hiding the bibles. (She claimed point about separation of church and state, and also she meant to be “playful”.)
Whole thing seems pretty bizarre. Presuming these bibles weren’t state property, couldn’t she have just asked them to be removed, or even removed them herself rather than hiding them? Or just do the Satanic Temple angle and start bringing in other religious texts?
(We all know no one was reading those bibles anyway.)

Why be sorry? Burn them and explain that the Bible contains offensive material and you are just trying to keep the children safe.

Why be sorry? That book is full of genocide, rape, incest, and slavery. Not appropriate for a government building.
