Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.)during his remarks in the House’s floor debate prior to its vote on the articles on impeachment compared the impeachment proceedings against President Trump to the “sham” biblical trial of Jesus.
“When Jesus was falsely accused of Treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers,” Loudermilk told his congressional colleagues.
“During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus, than Democrats have afforded this president in this process,” he continued.

Well, yet another Republican comparing this to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ wasn’t creepy at all

Oh sure. Trump fans have already thrown over the One True God for this false god, so of course, it makes sense they would compare this farce to the trial of Jesus.
This country has been on a slippery slope for a long time. Trump’s presidency, complete with its cult of worshipers, will push us over the edge.
