Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver delivered the opening prayer while opening up the 117th Congress on Sunday and decided to use a gender-neutral “amen and awoman” to close out the prayer. It has since caused criticism online, with some people pointing out that the original “amen” does not refer to gender but means “so be it” in Hebrew.
