A Pennsylvania state legislator has garnered controversy for delivering an opening prayer that critics labeled “Islamophobic” for its multiple mentions of Jesus and support for Israel. State Representative Stephanie Borowicz delivered a nearly two-minute long prayer to open up a legislative session Monday, wherein she mentioned Jesus by name several times, thanked God for President Donald Trump’s support for Israel, and quoted from the Bible.
“God forgive us,” prayed Borowicz. “Jesus, we’ve lost sight of You. We’ve forgotten You, God in our country. And we’re asking You to forgive us, Jesus … Jesus, You are our only hope.”
