The President asks, "are you trying to tell me Freemasons don't like me?" to which Charlie responds, "not a huge demo for you, no.". While it's true that the Freemasons of Saint John's Lodge No. 1 do own the Washington Bible and most of the rules surrounding the lending of the Bible as stated are generally correct, the Freemasons would not deny any President of any stripe the use of the Bible for political reasons. Freemasons are not only devoutly apolitical, they are also intensely patriotic and as part of their oaths even swear to be peaceable citizens of the state where they reside and to never countenance rebellion. The reality is that the Washington Bible has been used in 5 Presidential Inaugurals for member of both political parties and the Freemasons have always supported the use of this Bible, happily incurring the transportation expenses without reimbursement from the government.
