Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago) interrupted atheist activist Rob Sherman during his testimony Wednesday afternoon before the House State Government Administration Committee in Springfield and told him, “What you have to spew and spread is extremely dangerous . . . it’s dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists!
“This is the Land of Lincoln where people believe in God,” Davis said. “Get out of that seat . . . You have no right to be here! We believe in something. You believe in destroying! You believe in destroying what this state was built upon.”
UPDATE: It looks like this bigot is a member of…wait for it…Trinity United Church of Christ.
Illinois State Rep. Monique Davis (D-27th) is a member of Wright’s former congregation. She says that some comments like using a profane expletive invoking God have been taken out of context.
