House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) gave a speech on the House floor shortly after she was re-elected as House Speaker where she said that members of Congress “need God’s blessing.”
“In all that we do, let us be For The People – recognizing the beautiful diversity of America so that no one is left out and no one is left behind,” she said.
“To do so, we need God’s blessing,” Pelosi continued. “May God bless all of us. God bless all of you. God bless our men and women in uniform and their families — their servicemembers and their families — our veterans and may God bless America,” she said.
Pelosi is not the only Democrat to invoke God’s blessing on the House floor for political purposes.
