Qasim Rashid, Esq. on Nostr: Speaker Johnson began the House session with a fabricated prayer to Jesus Christ he ...
Speaker Johnson began the House session with a fabricated prayer to Jesus Christ he claims Thomas Jefferson recited every day of his 8 years in the Presidency. Jefferson did no such thing. The first evidence of that prayer existing is in 1919. Johnson is simply trying to advance his Christian nationalism.
Things Jefferson did do, however, include:
•Advocate for the separation between religion & state
•Host the first White House Iftar in Ramadan
•Own a Qur'an
But Johnson won't mention those.
