Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk says Jesus was treated more fairly ahead of his crucifixion than Trump: 'During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president'
WASHINGTON - A U.S. Republican lawmaker from Georgia said on Wednesday ahead of an impeachment vote accusing President Donald Trump of abusing his power and obstructing Congress that Jesus received a more fair trial ahead of his crucifixion.
“During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than Democrats have afforded this president in this process,” the lawmaker added. After the House vote, which is expected to break along party lines, the Republican-controlled Senate will conduct a trial with lawmakers there acting as jurors and House members as prosecutors.
