Reading from Romans 1:18-32, and Revelations 22:18-19, Allen gave his Republican colleagues a stern rebuke for their support of the anti-discrimination amendment ahead of the floor vote on the larger bill.
Needless to say, some members of Allen's caucus were none too pleased with the Biblical lecture.
"A good number of members were furious," one unnamed Republican told Politico, confirming that "there was some Scripture that was read and the like."
Another Republican lawmaker was so upset by Allen's remarks that he stormed out of the room. "A lot of members were clearly uncomfortable and upset," one Republican aide told The Hill.
"It was f—ing ridiculous," an unnamed lawmaker remarked.
