2. Didn't Jesus say something about praying in public?

Yeah, I thought so.

Matthew 6:5-15

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

"... you must not be like the hypocrites."

I'm actually amazed that a Republican-dominated House committee would reject Noem's proposal.
