Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law and Justice Executive Director Colleen McCarty says the RFP seems fair but found it odd that there arent many Bibles that match the requirements. We can see there are very few Bibles on the market that would meet these criteria, and all of them have been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, she said.
However, former Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson thinks the request may violate some laws. It appears to me that this bid is anything but competitive. It adds to the basic specification other requirements that have nothing to do with the text, Edmondson said.
The special binding and inclusion of government documents will exclude almost all bidders. If the bid specs exclude most bidders unnecessarily, I could consider that a violation.
According to the New Republic, Trump is cashing in on another Bible. The troubled politician signed a different version of Greenwoods publication and sold it at retail for $1,000 each. Supporters gravitated toward the book because it played on Trumps campaign, saying, We must make America pray again.
