“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe,” Ritchson, who identifies as a follower of Jesus, told the Reporter. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”
“Trump is a rapist and a con man,” he continued. “And yet the entire Christian church seems to be treating him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it.”
Ritchson isn’t wrong, of course, at least not about so-called “Christians” acting like Trump is their MAGA messiah. Right-wing pastors are even out here threatening “retribution” and “war” if Trump isn’t reelected into the Oval Office. Besides, somebody has to be buying these $60 bibles Trump has been slanging, and it sure isn’t the parishioners who can see as plain as day that MAGA America’s Rust-Orange Jesus is a living oxymoron of what is widely considered Christian morality.
Anyway, Ritchson’s remarks caused the fine folks on X to erupt in a X finger battle between Trump supporters who are, for whatever reason, offended by an anti-Trump actor—despite the fact that so many celebrities across the entertainment world have also denounced Trump—and people who believe calling Trump a morally corrupt “con man” is as accurate as calling the sky blue on a sunny day.
Let’s take a look at some of the responses, shall we?
