“As a Christian, I don't think you can be both MAGA and Christian,” one person wrote in the comments of the video.

“As a Christian, I don’t think you can be both MAGA and Christian,” one person wrote in the comments of the video.

Two weeks ago, Jen Hamilton, a nurse with a sizable following on TikTok and Instagram, picked up her Bible and made a video that would quickly go viral.

“Basically, I sat down at my kitchen table and began to read from Matthew 25 while overlaying MAGA policies that directly oppose the character and nature of Jesus’ teachings,” she told HuffPost.

In the comments of the video ― which currently has more than 8.6 million views on TikTok ― many (Christians and atheists alike) applauded Hamilton for using straight Scripture as a way of offering commentary. Others picked a bone with Christians who uncritically support Trump.

      Yep. It’s also kinda curious how many boxes Paul ticks of the comments about a false deceiver in 2 Thess 2.

      • Lawless? (1 Cor 9:20 - “though not myself under the law”)
      • Used signs and wonders to convert? (2 Cor 12:12 - “I did many signs and wonders among you”)
      • Used wickedness? (Romans 3:8 - "And why not say (as some people slander us by saying that we say), “Let us do evil so that good may come”?)
      • Proclaimed himself in God’s place? (1 Cor 4:15 - “I am your spiritual father”)
      • Set himself up at the center of the church? Well, the fact we’re talking about this is kinda proof in the pudding for his influence.

      Sounds like they were projecting a bit with that passage.
