GOP Congressman Compares Trump to Jesus: Pontius Pilate Was Fairer Than Democrats

During the House floor debate ahead of Wednesday evening’s historic impeachment vote, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) compared President Donald Trump to Jesus Christ, claiming that the president has been treated less fairly by Democrats than Jesus was just before his crucifixion.

“Before you take this historic vote today, one week before Christmas, keep this in mind,” Loudermilk exclaimed.

“When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers.”
