GOP lawmaker likens Trump impeachment to trial of Jesus
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.
