Zohran Mamdani's Qur’an oath was perfectly legal. Christian Nationalists can't handle that.

The backlash to Mamdani's swearing-in ceremony has nothing to do with the Constitution and everything to do with religious privilege

    I don’t think many politicians think they will face any divine reprisal either. They swear an oath on a bible, then do all the heinous things they do

    Kissinger swore an oath on a bible, then signed off on the deaths of tens of thousands

    Trump swore an oath on a bible, then spent his first year protecting pedophiles

    Rick Scott swore an oath on a bible, shortly after stealing hundreds of millions from tax payers

      I mean, the Christian god is cool with genocide, commands it numerous times, tolerates all sorts of heinous things, and is at least as likely to protect pedos as Trump. (May also be one. Depending on how it worked with Marry. Lots to unpack there.)
