Joe Scarborough: Administration ‘Testing Limits’ of Religious Rhetoric, Trump Supporters Overlooking Scriptural Misuse

RUSH EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “Right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. And he said it was ezekiel 2517. But but you know, Mika, again, this is just the latest in a long line. I mean, yesterday morning, it was incredible. Again, there are people that, of course, whistling past the political graveyard saying, oh, this won’t matter. Trump gets away with everything and perhaps he will. Perhaps there are enough evangelicals that really don’t care that that they’ve got a politician and other politicians right through the administration that that blasphemed Jesus Christ’s name every day, starting on Easter, and the president portraying himself as Jesus Christ. Pete Hegseth yesterday in a press conference comparing Donald Trump to Jesus Christ and comparing reporters to to the pharisees, it’s incredibly sad. Oh, I went to church on Sunday. Yay! And what did he get out of church on Sunday? Because usually when I go to church on Sunday, what I usually get out is, you know, be kind to the less fortunate, be blessed, be the merciful. They’ll be shown mercy. You know, things that Jesus says. What Pete Hegseth told us yesterday that he gets out of, out of church services is that. Donald Trump is Jesus, and that reporters are the pharisees. And again, this continues and continues. Donald Trump reposting a post where Jesus is hugging Donald Trump and he says, I don’t care what the libs think of it. No, it’s not the libs. It’s not the libs."
