A “clown number”
"These words may be strong, but that's what I sincerely think," she began in the sequence, already taken up in May by the Twitter account @CH005Y.
Before continuing: “I don't care if you're a Christian, I don't care what the Bible says.
I feel like it's a clown number.
You sit there, trying to decipher what your mythical little book says about these very political issues.
And the facilitator, whose anger is more and more perceptible, to repeat: “I don't care if you are a Christian.
In fact, I will even fight so that you can benefit from your religious freedom, and that you can practice your religion.
I believe in that”.
Ana Kasparian nevertheless indicates "not to believe in Christianity".
"Which means you can't dictate how I live my life based on your religion," she stressed.

The “right not to believe it”
"I don't care what the Bible says," she said.
You have all the rights in the world.
All these women to whom your religion corresponds have every right in the world not to have an abortion, not to take the pill.
But they don't have the right to rule my life and dictate what I decide to do with my body."
Ana Kasparian later expressed her “fatigue” from having “non-stop” conversations “about what the Bible says.”
“Live your life the way you interpret the Bible,” she concluded.
Again, I don't care.
But you can't take the Bible and say to me, "Well, the Bible says this in this chapter, in this verse."
I do not care.
I do not believe it.
And I have the right, according to our Constitution, not to believe it.

Born in Los Angeles in 1986 to Armenian parents, Ana Kasparian began her career as a production assistant for CBS Radio, before joining “The Young Turks”, a program created by Cenk Uygur and considered progressive, in 2007. host discusses themes such as politics, pop culture and lifestyle.

"We don't even have parental leave," she said indignantly.
We don't even have affordable child care in this goddamn country."
