Priest Rebukes Republican's Comparison Of Trump Impeachment To Jesus Trial | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. Shame on you Republicans for comparing Jesus Christ trial to that of Trump’s impeachment…study your bible and learn to know and understand the vast differences.

    1. The Pharisees/GOP got it wrong anyway…

      Jesus’ trial was illegal.
      The trial had to be conducted during daylight hours in order to ‘see’ evidence clearly.
      His trial was conducted before the sunrose.
      The various eyewitnesses did not agree.
      His trial had to be finished before the Sabbath so it was rushed.
      Jesus did not get to face his accusers.
      Formal meetings of the Sanhedrin usually took place in a hall known as the Lishkat La-Gazit (“Chamber of Hewn Stones”), located in the Stoa of the Temple. In one location, it took place in a private house.
      Every member the Sanhedrinwas supposed to be present for a trial that concerned the death sentence two important members were not called.

  2. GOPs: “Please allow me to tell some lies and spew some russian propaganda, so we have it on tape for the future”

    1. That’s why you got out of the whole video of the impeachment?? Because that’s proof that Democrats aren’t listening and just spouting whatever they want because people like you have zero COMMON SENSE! Because TRUMP did NOTHING wrong! Did Biden do wrong in 2015? I’m sure you will defend him and Obama. But if what you are saying is that what Trump did was “impeachable” then why haven’t the DEMOCRATS asked how Biden to stop his campaign? Why haven’t they had him disavow his actions? His and his sons and Nancy pelosi son working with CORRUPT GAD COMPANIES IN UKRAINE? HMM?? MIC DROP

    2. agree it would be fun, but only if it favors US, Like Putin’s revived Soviet Union KGB operation Soviet America,

    3. @jeff erlsten this is not about Biden. Why don’t you get that. The president should not that withdraw funding for anything of his will. Is that too hard to understand?

    1. Either he would throw these cheting money-changers from the temple of power, or he would shale their dust from his sandals as he left them behind. They have already given up on any chance to invite him to stay with them.

    2. I’m with @WestsideDavid, something tells me, He’d be taking out the scourge and going after them all.

    1. It’s embarrassing for sure, to see the American people this way. How sick and weak they are….these Senate Republicans. Wow.

  3. “Well, technically, Trump is “Antichrist” so…”

    More seriously, this show exactly what the GOP are seeing Trump as. Which is highly disturbing and an insult to every single christian and christianty as a whole.

    Keep church and state seperated, people.

    1. _”Trump”?… “antichrist”??_ ….
      Well, yeah – there’s that.
      _”Keep church and state separated”?_
      How ’bout republicans should try to keep *reality* and *delusion* separated!

    2. @Gatsby Light How about *leaving other people and their beliefs alone* – as that’s in the US Constitution, too! “No trolls need apply” is the *_only_* “rudeness” allowed, ’cause trolls aren’t real; they’re just a figment of your boss’ imagination!

    3. @Dixie Ten Broeck – Yeah! What was I thinking!? Leaving a *comment* in a *comments* section!?
      Thanks, Dixie…. come on back and leave us another message when your Xanax wears off.

  4. Republicans worship their money and their power, that’s why they would not know Jesus if walked the floors of Congress!

    1. If Jesus were to walk the Earth today, he’d be a Liberal Democrat helping every human being, and Republicans would attack and forsake him.

      Everyone knows Jesus wouldn’t be a racist Republican, worshiping money…..

    2. @Jeremy Backup hey I know this dude @dathpo he lives on my block he’s a punk hp don’t pay him any mind he’s scared of his own shadow he used to be the coaches basketball assistant they made him quit they were rumors about him

  5. Just goes to show how Christian these republicans are. Wolves in sheep’s clothing. A true Christian would never compare the Lord’s suffering to the likes of Trump. Sick and blasphemous

    1. and trump is actually guilty of the offence he was accused of and he refused to participate in the inquiry and blocked people from testifying. How was he treated badly exactly? Examine yourself if you are truly a christian

    2. The Pharisees/GOP got it wrong anyway…

      Jesus’ trial was illegal.
      The trial had to be conducted during daylight hours in order to ‘see’ evidence clearly.
      His trial was conducted before the sunrose.
      The various eyewitnesses did not agree.
      His trial had to be finished before the Sabbath so it was rushed.
      Jesus did not get to face his accusers.
      Formal meetings of the Sanhedrin usually took place in a hall known as the Lishkat La-Gazit (“Chamber of Hewn Stones”), located in the Stoa of the Temple. In one location, it took place in a private house.
      Every member the Sanhedrinwas supposed to be present for a trial that concerned the death sentence two important members were not called.

  6. The irony of it all, Trump’s Republicans invoking Jesus Christ into the scenario seems like blasphemy…

    1. Jesus’ trial was illegal.
      The trial had to be conducted during daylight hours in order to ‘see’ evidence clearly.
      His trial was conducted before the sunrose.
      The various eyewitnesses did not agree.

    2. Comparing Trump to Jesus? The closes that I can do is recall the story that Jesus walked on water, Trump comes pretty close to that, he got baptised in bed with water (urine) by 2 Russian call girls! Now that’s miracle.

  7. Oh please I believe 90%of this country wants him out,band if the economy is so great why hasn’t he paid the national debt off yet??? Or even tried?…

  8. On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was in a territory of the United States but not in the United States until Hawaii became a state on August 21, 1959.

    1. Yeah Jimmy the Republikkkan and Demoncratic parties are Two wings on the Same Dirty Bird . And Trump is the wrong Color to be Compared or put in the same sentence as Yahawashi or Jesus to you .

    2. Gray the Earth is given into the Hand of the Wicked one and the Republikkkan party keeps proving that . What’s Evil is Good,and whats Good is Evil ,Eyes that See,but they Don’t want to See it ,and Ears that can Hear but they don’t want to Hear It !! That’s how Amerikkka Babylon gits down .

    3. been calling them out on it since the LYING THIEVING CHURCH WHORING McCrory finalized the brutal gang-raping of the Sweet Baby Jesus by the NC Republican legislators on Dec. 16rh, 2016, They are the ETERNAL ENEMIES OF TRUTH.

  9. A party that supports the author of the raving lunacy displayed in Trump’s Tuesday letter to Pelosi and that parrots provably false statements is not one deserving of respect nor certainly one to be trusted with power.
    –Jennifer Rubin, WaPo Opinion Writer, Dec 18/19

  10. Representative Barry Loudermilk like most of his craven GOP colleagues certainly appears to be in league with both Putin and Satan

    1. The Pharisees/GOP got it wrong anyway…

      Jesus’ trial was illegal.
      The trial had to be conducted during daylight hours in order to ‘see’ evidence clearly.

  11. I love the priest’s response (and so true)…Also, how dare that GOP Congressman compare this impeachment to the bombing of Pearl Harbor!
