MAGAS Are Besides Themselves Because Zohran Mamdani Took the Oath of Office on The Koran

[DemocratSinceBirth]

They are saying it is illegitimate and calling on their orange king to denaturalize and deport him.

[newdeal2]

1. The orange one has a Mamdani man crush

Never seen him so smitten with someone before.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. If he took his Oath on

The St. James Bible, then he’d be lying.

Classic double-bind.

[Deuxcents]

3. It is not illegal. The Constitution does not mandate a book, or any book to be used to be sworn in

[DFW]

11. I would have used "Bartholomew And The Oobleck" myself

But that's just me.

Don't laugh. It's not as far fetched as it may seem. One of my grandfathers was a deputy mayor of New York City once upon a time.

[Aristus]

16. Probably no better example exists in fiction of a leader ruining his country out of selfishness,

instead of continuing with the natural order that benefits everyone.

[DFW]

18. And that is exactly why I would choose that book.

It’s a children’s book that would baffle almost any Republican that would try to read it.

[odins folly]

4. Apparently they missed it

When shitbag didn’t put his hand on the book when he was sworn in for his current term…..

[EYESORE 9001]

5. Superstitious, isn't he?

Probably half-expecting a bronze-age Sky Daddy to hurl a bolt of lightning in a fit of righteous indignation.

[Norbert]

6. Do they remember trump didn't even put his hand on the Bible?

[lame54]

9. Didn't want to burn his tiny hand

[anciano]

7. Hilarious reaction 🤣

[GoCubsGo]

8. Mamdani owned the MAGAts.

And, we're the snowflakes??? Can't say I'm surprised by their reaction, though. They are so pathetic.

10. I've always said that if I had to swear in for some big ceremonial office

I would borrow a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15, the origin of Spider-Man, which ends with the moral "With great power comes great responsibility."

[DFW]

21. I had an old friend who would have been pleased to hear that.

He is, alas, no longer with us, but I did get him to leave DU a little legacy . He would have turned 103 last December.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. Another official was sworn in using the Torah

Link to tweet

[Iris]

13. They don't even realize there's no requirement to use a Bible

[Vinca]

14. The Great Orange One finds himself in a real quandary. He needs to hate, but what about the White House meeting

when he practically tongue kissed Mamdani? It's kind of amusing.

[DoBW]

15. the old saying ...

[Renew Deal]

17. Wait till they find out about forcing kids to learn Arabic numerals

That was going around a few weeks ago with predictable responses

[DFW]

19. Wait til they find out that they were "forced" to learn the same thing

And no one told them!

(Well, actually, yes the did, but they forgot, since that was XXVIII years ago)

20. LOL
