‘Amen and awoman:’ Congressman gets national backlash for unique prayer ending
WASHINGTON D.C. – The new year rang in the 117th Congress of the United States and people are buzzing about the opening prayer, rather than the politics. The prayer to open the 117th Congress ended with "amen and a-women." It's not a gendered word. Amen is commonly used after a prayer or formal statement to express ratification or agreement, according to dictionary.com. It isn’t a gendered word but that didn’t stop them from being insane.
