Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump And Jesus Are Alike Because They’re Both ‘Convicted Felons’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) compared former President Donald Trump to the Messiah Jesus Christ during a Sunday rally in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Trump and his allies held a rally in Sin City on Sunday where they spoke out against the presumptive Republican nominee’s recent conviction. Last month, a Manhattan jury found the former president guilty on 34 counts of fabricating business records regarding hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Meanwhile, Trump has vowed to appeal the conviction and has demanded the Supreme Court step in to overturn the conviction, while attacking Judge Juan Merchan as biased.
Greene called Trump’s conviction “bullshit” before adding that her and other MAGA supporters were “not going to tolerate it.” The Georgia lawmaker remains one of Trump’s most ardent supporter in Congress and has demanded the DOJ face backlash for the conviction.
Oh, it is bullshit. And you want to know something? We are going to tolerate it. The Democrats and the fake news media want to constantly talk about. Oh, President Trump is a convicted felon. Well, you want to know something? The man that I worship is also a convicted felon. And he was murdered on a Roman cross. We’ve seen political corruption. We have seen this throughout history. This is nothing new.
