Rep. Jordan Harris claimed Borowicz weaponized prayer [but not Movita?].
?I am a Christian. I spend my Sunday mornings in church worshipping and being thankful for all that I have. But in no way does that mean I would flaunt my religion at those who worship differently than I do,? Democratic state Rep. Jordan Harris said in a statement. ?There is no room in our Capitol building for actions such as this, and it?s incredibly disappointing that today?s opening prayer was so divisive.? […] End quote.
