JERUSALEM POST

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., released a video explaining why she supports the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. It’s a big deal because Luria is part of a group of moderate, centrist Democrats with national security backgrounds who have changed their minds about the impeachment scandal over time.


For Jews, the video is a big deal for another reason: in it, Luria is seen multiple times clearly holding a Hebrew bible as she recites the oath of office. The book is white and has her name inscribed on it.

Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven.
