“A pair of Republican lawmakers in Maine were ruled out of order on Thursday after one of them tried to suggest that a horrific mass shooting last October was God’s retribution for a state bill which expanded abortion access, and the other heartily agreed,” the Daily Beast reports.

“During a debate Wednesday night over a new bill which would extend the right to gender-affirming care to people from out of state, Rep. Michael Lemelin voiced his trepidation by making a wildly offensive connection between the two discrete incidents.”

2. Did the two self righteous legislators mixing church & state get any questions re "God's Retribution"

for every tornado that rips up a town in the Bible Belt?

Nope? Figures, the bible thumping hypocrites never seem to equate God being pissed when something happens to 'good people'.

3. And Republicans want us to believe that naked people are obscene.

Now this, this is obscene.

4. So that's what Jesus would do

Murder random people.
