A Democrat lawmaker from Arizona was caught on video swiping Bibles from a state House lounge, after which she apparently hid them.
Say what?
KTVK-TV reported that the security team at the Arizona Capitol placed a camera in the House’s members-only lounge to get to the bottom of how Bibles were vanishing.
Sure enough, they weren't just disappearing into the ether. Resulting video shows Democrat state Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton pilfering two Bibles in just minutes, KTVK said.
The act didn't sit well with Republican Speaker Pro Tempore Travis Grantham, the station said.
“When I’m watching that, I’m thinking, ‘Well, this is obviously someone who’s got some purpose and some intent, and they know they’re doing something bad,'” Grantham told KTVK.
They once were lost, then were found
The House’s security team found one Bible "buried in the members-only lounge furniture," the station said. And the other? Believe it or not, KTVK said Good Book #2 was located in the "community refrigerator."

It gets even better — or worse?
Turns out Stahl Hamilton is an ordained minister, KTVK said — which would seem to push this badly executed caper into even wackier territory.
“Just a little playful commentary on the separation of church and state," Stahl Hamilton finally said in a statement, the station added. "I am a Presbyterian minister so I obviously don’t have a problem with the Bible."

Gee, why would someone in a political party dedicated to exhibiting the fruit of depraved minds not like having Bibles around?
She’s a godless Molochite, masquerading as a Christian.
They should have left a Koran out and filmed her reaction to that.
I’d say the Presbyterians have a bigger problem than do the state legislature security guys.
If she had done that with a kuran she would have already been expelled, and would be awaiting trial.
The state would have issued an apology on CNN and would be figuring out how to give reparations.
I have hidden your word in the sofa that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11.
She is a female preacher, I’m not shocked.
I thought stealing was against Gods Law. This is taking Gods Word in vain attempts to conceal it. Not good.
Removing the Bibles is technically theft. Recently Liz Harris, a Republican member of the Arizona House of Representatives, was expelled by her fellow House members for inviting to a committee hearing a “conspiracy theorist” who accused elected officials of corruption and bribery.
If inviting someone they don’t want to hear is an offense justifying the expulsion of an Arizona House of Representatives member, shouldn’t a member who is stealing items from a room in the state house be expelled?
As usual Republicans are silent. They should be demanding the Democrat’s expulsion for theft. Theft is an actual crime. Inviting someone to speak is not a crime, no matter how offensive you find the speaker.
LOL!
She wasn't stealing them she was hiding them. Don't they hide Easter eggs on Easter?
It’s a wonder she didn’t burst into flames...................
Democrats have mental illness.
Just certain parts of it - like Romans....
Exactly.
She is a trojan horse.
“I am a Presbyterian minister” Nuff said
I don't know who they is. Jesus and the Disciples never celebrated Easter nor hid eggs. I have no idea what the Pope does. It seems like a good way to lose forgotten eggs. No, the whole idea is silly. She should be ashamed. and expelled.
Well, guess which Representative's complaint sparked the ethics investigation that led to Harris's dismissal? Surprise!! It was the one who was stealing the Bibles!
Another surprise: She represents a district in the liberal bastion of Tucson!
