MSNBCs Rachel Maddow called attention to the head of President Donald Trumps White House Faith Office, whom she flagged for continuing to peddle religious articles and other supernatural blessings.
Are you feeling the itch to send this U.S. government employee, the head of the White House Faith Office, $1,000 or more? If so, congratulations, because that is how you get all this stuff, including the special year of blessing and a long life and taking your sickness away for the low, low price of $1,000, Maddow said sarcastically.
The primetime host opened her show Wednesday by highlighting the YouTube presence of Trumps longtime spiritual adviser Pastor Paula White-Cain, who besides leading the White House Faith Office as senior adviser is still hawking religious offerings online......
Maddow concluded in a sarcastic tone that it was nice to know that at least someone in the White House was working on issues like long life and take sickness away, even if they are charging for them.
She then folded the MAGA pastor's miracle-selling ways to the Trump administrations cut to USAIDs funding of global vaccinations.
You may be able to buy those things by sending $1,000 to the head of the White House Faith Office, but know when you're doing so that the U.S. government itself will no longer be working toward those aims in the material world, Maddow concluded.

If they donate $1000 to a food bank, do they get the same 7 blessings?
