A newly elected Democrat Congressman from California opted to be sworn in on a copy of the original Superman comic.
In addition to being sworn in on the comic, Robert Garcia, former mayor of Long Beach, will be sworn in on a photo of his deceased parents, both of whom he lost to COVID-19 in 2020, a copy of the constitution, and a copy of his citizenship certificate. The comic will be borrowed from the Library of Congress. Garcia will be the first openly homosexual immigrant in Congress.
Garcia spokeswoman Sara Guerrero, speaking with the New York Post, said that “Congressman Garcia learned to read and write in English by reading Superman comics so it’s especially exciting he was able to borrow this rare copy from the kind folks at the Library of Congress.”
The original Superman comic to be used in Garcia’s swearing in, Superman #1, was published by DC Comics in 1939. Last year, a copy of the comic sold at auction for $5.3 million. According to Screen Rant, the comic is considered a “holy grail” for comic collectors.
In 2021, DC announced that it would run a new Superman series. The series, Superman: Son of Kal-El, featured Jon Kent, son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, and depicted him embracing several leftist causes, including climate activism and wearing a mask to fight the spread of COVID-19.
The fifth issue of the series depicted Kent as coming out as “bisexual” and starting a relationship with his friend Jay Nakamura. The issue featured a picture of the two male characters kissing…

IF anyone is looking for Garcia in the future, he plans to be in the Library of Congress reading all the comic books (yes he actually said that)
I bought a bunch of tracts last year during their annual sale (June I think).
I always keep a few in my cars and in a back pocket of my jeans.
Always ready if an opportunity to witness comes up. It often does but it’s usually when I’m not expecting it.
The only thing about the sale is it has to be a single title. If I could spend $500 or $600 I could get the multiple titles I like.

A deviant is as a deviant does.
LOL!
Seems fitting considering the federal government is not much more than a joke these days.
Better than using the Bible in rank hypocrisy, I guess.
😂👍
The LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ freaks make up about 2% of the population but represent 30% of Congress and the Biden Administration.
It’s functionally equivalent to kneeling during the national anthem and probably invalidates his swearing in, but an oath is just a formal promise and what does that matter to a politician?
Yea, upon hearing this it screamed homosexual, and California.
Somebody FINALLY showing that Washington D.C. if a friggin’ joke. Especially the crap up on Capitol Hill. A real freak show for nut cases.
This is repulsive, so of course he is from California. Former Republican. He should hang out with Kevin McCarthy, one of the wealthiest men in Congress.
Funny how that works.

How so?
Quite right.
But I wouldn't call Superman comics a Judeo-Christian institutions.
So, it’s come to just allowing people to openly mock the entire country while being sworn in as a member of Congress. I suppose next cycle we’ll have people being sworn in wearing animal or monster costumes.
