Marjorie Taylor Greene likens Trump to Nelson Mandela and Jesus

Yes, really!

https://jezebel.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-compares-trump-to-jesus-nelson-1850298544

Shortly after being booed off the scene of a pro-Trump rally in Manhattan by counter-protesters on Tuesday morning, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had some time for a very special interview in (drumroll please)… the van of her apparent boyfriend, Right Side Broadcasting Network’s Brian Glenn. Hiding out in a car with Glenn, Greene spoke of former President Trump’s Monday arrival in New York for his arraignment and compared him to Jesus Christ and civil rights icon Nelson Mandela.

“President Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today. Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. Jesus! Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government,” Greene told Glenn, as the visibly love-struck far-right propagandist nodded along in support. “There have been many people throughout history that have been arrested and persecuted by radical corrupt governments, and it’s beginning today in New York City. And I just can’t believe it’s happening, but I’ll always support him.”


There's a video at the link, but you'll have to go there to watch it (if you think you can stomach it!), because I don't know to embed it.

In addition to being hilarious, it's actually an improvement. With that makeup, you can't tell how disturbingly close together her eyes are!

They gave him a halo as well. Which is disturbing as well. Jesus said to give all your money to the poor and follow me. Not give money to a porn star and buy a golden toilet.

Her remarks are taken with a grain of salt.
