I hope this link works, ya'll just have to hear it in person. When Jake Tapper asked about Moore’s assertion that Muslim member of Congress shouldn’t be allowed to serve the conversation truly went off the rails.
“Because you have to swear on the Bible,” Crockett said. “I had to do it. I’m an elected official three terms. I had to swear on a Bible. You have to swear on a Bible to be an elected official in the United States of America. He alleges that a Muslim cannot do that ethically swearing on the Bible.”
“You don’t actually have to swear on a Christian Bible, you can swear on anything, really,” Tapper told Crockett. “I don’t know if you knew that. You can swear on a Jewish Bible.” ....Crockett sits with his mouth open in disbelief.
“The law is not that you have to swear on a Christian Bible,” Tapper continued. “That is not the law. Did you know that?”
Crockett sat in stunned silence for several more seconds.
