GOP lawmaker claims pandemic is 'punishment' for 'sins'

By Dan Desai Martin -March 25, 2020 3:02 PM

Pennsylvania state Rep. Stephanie Borowicz was criticized after introducing a resolution calling for a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer to solve the ongoing outbreak.

On Monday, Republican Pennsylvania state Rep. Stephanie Borowicz introduced a resolution in the state's General Assembly calling for "A State Day of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer" in response to the coronavirus crisis.

The resolution stated, "We know that, by His divine law, nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisement in this world" and the current pandemic may be "punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins."

Borowicz's resolution goes on to claim that Pennsylvanians "have forgotten God" and thus need to "confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness."

...Jesus often spoke about these things and used them repeatedly to bring more people into the fold and make them better people.

She went bananas when Pennsylvania elected a Muslim state rep., and so just before that happening, she managed to get on the schedule to give a prayer where she begged Jesus to forgive them all.
