ElizabethWarren had her ceremonial swearing in ceremony a few minutes ago. I missed the magic moment to screen capture it but I did manage to capture Maizie Hirono’s pose with Biden.
As she was being sworn in, Biden offered Hirono a Bible, which she declined. She swore on no book. Maizie is a Buddhist, the first Buddhist Senator we’ve ever had. So, this is her right to decline a bible.
She’s not the only one breaking new ground today. Tulsi Gabbard, congressional rep from Hawaii, is the first Hindu elected to Congress. She took the oath on the Bhagavad Gita.
Well. that’s the last sign of the apocalypse, surely.
