Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused the Supreme Court of having a bias toward Christianity, after it recently sided with a high school football coach who prayed on the 50-yard line.
The New York Democrat, who spoke at a virtual town hall Wednesday, said she didn’t think the high court would’ve ruled the coach’s actions constitutional if he were Jewish or Muslim.
“[There is] an absolute religious bias in the court,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, adding that the case infringed on the separation of church and state.
The congresswoman’s comments come after the court’s Monday ruling that a public high school’s football coach had his free exercise of religion abridged when he was fired for praying at the 50-yard line after his team’s games.
