Whose Pussy Would Jesus Grab? GOP Congressman Barry Loudermilk compares Donald Trump to Jesus Christ, claiming that “Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president.”
Speaking on the house floor, Rep. Barry Loudermilk made the ridiculous claim that Jesus was treated more fairly before his crucifixion than Trump has been treated throughout the impeachment process.
The Daily Beast reports:
Well, it only took a few hours for a Republican to liken the president to the son of God himself.
During the House floor debate ahead of Wednesday evening’s historic impeachment vote, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) compared President Donald Trump to Jesus Christ, claiming that the president has been treated less fairly by Democrats than Jesus was just before his crucifixion.
Loudermilk made his laughable claim during a debate on the House floor concerning two articles of impeachment the House is expected to vote on Wednesday evening.
At the time, Loudermilk said:

During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president in this process.”8162:27 PM – Dec 18, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy912 people are talking about this
When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers. During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president in this process.
As one might imagine, the comparison of Trump to Christ was met with ridicule and criticism on social media. The following is a sample of reactions via Twitter:
In this analogy Trump is Jesus and Democrats are Pontius Pilate and Pontius Pilate treated Jesus better than the Democrats are treating Trump.
So he’s saying what the Democrats are doing to Trump is WORSE than a crucifixion. https://twitter.com/CahnEmily/status/1207380409635479557 …Emily C. Singer✔@CahnEmilyRep.

OMFG Rep. Loudermilk is right now comparing Trump to JESUS.
He is legit claiming that Jesus got more due process than Trump.
These people are lunatics. Complete lunatics.
It’s astonishing that they don’t see how totally off the rails they sound. Just astonishing.5,9402:12 PM – Dec 18, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy1,831 people are talking about this

are Republicans really sure that they want to go down the “comparing Trump to Jesus” road https://twitter.com/itsJeffTiedrich/status/1168166193615781889 …Jeff Tiedrich@itsJeffTiedrichmy favorite Bible story might be the one where Jesus tells all the sick immigrant children that they have 33 days to get their cancer-stricken asses the fuck out of Nazareth and then spends an entire weekend golfing and whining about each and every one of his stupid petty grudges2,9952:35 PM – Dec 18, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy797 people are talking about this

Previously Rep. Loudermilk made headlines after co-sponsoring a bill that would have abolished the Environmental Protection Agency. The good news: that legislation never passed.
Bottom line: GOP Congressman Barry Loudermilk compares Donald Trump to Jesus Christ, and implies that impeaching Trump is worse than crucifying Jesus.
