Rep. Rick Allen

What Caused Republicans to Storm Out of Their Own Policy Meeting?

Once upon a time, the Republican Party was viewed as the “party of God, Guns, and Glory,” but there’s growing evidence that stance may be weakening.

In the wake of a vote earlier this week to add an amendment to the energy and water budget bill that would strip faith-based military contractors of their religious freedom, a new report suggests the issue was far more contentious than originally thought. According to The Hill newspaper, one Republican congressman caused an uproar at a House GOP policy meeting held prior to the vote on the overall bill.

U.S. Rep. Rick Allen’s alleged offense: reading a piece of Scripture from his Bible that addresses the sin of homosexuality. While the specific book, chapter, and verse aren’t known—and the Georgia Republican’s office has not responded to media inquiries about the alleged incident—he also reportedly admonished his colleagues who were supporting what was viewed as an amendment that promoted an anti-Christian agenda.

According to the report, “several Republicans walked out of the room in disgust.” And at least one of them, who didn’t want to be named, expressed his frustration with a profanity-laced tirade afterward.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has not yet responded to the report.
