Democrats Change 181-Year-Old House Rule to Accommodate "Muslem" Lawmakers

Democrats officially now control the House of Representatives, and one of their first actions as the majority party was to revamp a rule that goes back to 1837 in order to accommodate two Muslim lawmakers.

On Thursday, the chamber v**ed 234-197 to pass a new rules package, which governs the regulations for members of Congress and is a routine part of starting the legislative session.

What isn’t routine, however, is the change to head-wear regulations. Since the 19th century, the House has kept hats and other head coverings off limits as a sign of formality and tradition for office holders.

But not anymore. Due almost entirely to incoming Democrats who practice Islam, that nearly two-century old rule has been modified. Those Muslim members are Rashida Tlaib of Michigan — who just made headlines for crass language — and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

“During the session of the House, a Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner may not wear nonreligious headdress or a hat or remain by the Clerk’s desk during the call of the roll or the counting of b****ts,” the new rule states, according to The Hill.

Omar, who wears a head scarf in public, used social media to praise the change, but couldn’t help making a back-handed jab at the president at the same time.

“Yesterday, Congress v**ed to lift a 181 year ban on headwear to make the #116thCongress more inclusive for all,” she declared.

“I thank my colleagues for welcoming me, and I look forward to the day we lift the Muslim ban separating families all over the U.S. from their loved ones,” she continued.

That last part was referring to the Trump administration’s policies of restricting travel to the United States from certain countries that have known problems with radical terrorism.

Contrary to Omar’s tweet, there is no “Muslim ban,” a fact that the Supreme Court

“Chief Justice John Roberts penned the 5-4 opinion in which the court found that Trump’s order was well within his authority as president,” The Western Journal reported in June. “The decision also denied that religious hostility had anything to do with the order.”

“The (order) is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices,” Roberts wrote.

Countries on that restricted list are widely known to be unstable and hotbeds of extremism, such as Syria and Iran. The newly sworn-in Representative Omar must know this, but decided to push a false narrative anyway.

Despite her attempts to politicize the issue, however, it’s hard to get truly worked up about the head-wear change. The updated rule which continues to prohibit random hats but allows religious headgear is reasonable, and plenty of centuries-old laws have been changed in America for the better.

Indeed, allowing religious head coverings isn’t something that only benefits one person. The rule change means that Jewish lawmakers can now wear a kippah or yarmulke and Sikhs can wear a turban, for instance.

Other government branches have already enacted waivers for religious head coverings. Even the U.S. military has eased its rules in this area — and that change happened during the Trump presidency.

The real concern for conservatives is not that Democrats just overturned an obscure rule, but rather that they want to overturn so much else. The left has a laundry list of goals that go all the way up to impeaching the president — and that’s why it’s so important to challenge them and win again in 2020.

Yeah, the next rule of law these morons will pass is to allow freshmen women to call the President of the United States a 'motherfucker' without being "censured". Joe Wilson almost got 'censured' for yelling out "You lie" during Obama's speech. Turns out, Joe Wilson was right. He was lying, but who didn't disagree with Wilson's remarks except for Nancy Pelosi herself. What is the world coming to? Don't forget Michelle: When they go low, we go high! Yeah, right.

The did not change the rule to “accommodate Muslim lawmakers” they changed the rule to comply with the first amendment of our constitution, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The rule clearly would have violated the amendment and as such was changed.

Too bad she did not keep her powder dry for the state of the union, it would have been a better platform for her comment.

In the first place since Goat Humpers don't respect and accept our Constitution and accept their Quron instead they should not be allowed to run for or be elected to any office in this country unless that office is "Hog Wrangler". Obama has allowed this country to be infected with Islam just like allowing diseases that have been eradicated in this country back in. Obama has caused dangerous damage to this country that may never be corrected --- all to be Politacly Correct and inclusive.

The left always gives a pass to muslims. Its interesting they do that because the koran states that if non believers don't convert or subjugate themselves to islam they are to be k**led.

Bcon

You really are one sick puppy. Only an ass would make an inane statement like that.

I hope that if she does mouth off at the state of the union address, that she is escorted out forcefully and ensured.
