Leftist Iowa Congresswoman Mocks Christians for Having ‘Weaponized Religion,’ Dons Hijab to Visit Mosque
BY ROBERT SPENCER APR 15, 2022 2:40 PM ET
Cindy Axne is the only Democrat in Iowa’s Congressional delegation, and she may not hold that distinction much longer; in 2020, she was reelected with only 48.9% of the vote, down from 49.3% in 2018. If November 2022 turns out to be the red wave that nearly everyone is expecting, and given how sharply her values diverge from those most Iowans, Cindy Axne will be back in West Des Moines looking for work. It couldn’t come a moment too soon. Axne, who has mocked her Christian constituents, recently put on that most visible sign of the oppression of women, a hijab, to visit an Islamic center in Des Moines. The Left has a favorite religion, and it certainly isn’t Christianity.
Breitbart reported Wednesday that Axne, “last September, was caught on a recording during an appearance with a far-left activist group from New York, Markers For Democracy, where she discussed her party’s response to the coronavirus pandemic when she made vulgar comments about her constituents of the Christian faith.” Iowa is 77% Christian.
Axne sounded as if she would be much more at home on the Left Coast than in flyover country when she said: “So now all the schools are back wanting to put mask mandates in, and all of the anti-vaxxer crazies are out there with their – it’s a hot mess. I’ll be honest, Christian right, everything under the guise while they hold a cross for God or whatever. They use it like a weapon, and it’s painful to watch because they’ve weaponized religion, they’ve weaponized politics.”
