Recently, Religious Right activist Mary Colbert and “firefighter prophet” Mark Taylor appeared on the “Something More” program, where Colbert said that President Trump is like Jesus in his use of coarse language and, like God, is “a man of his word.”
Colbert said that Christians who oppose Trump because of his use of “rough language” must also “have a problem with Jesus because he spoke to the Pharisees and Sadducees and said, ‘You vipers, you snakes.’ He referred to Herod as a fox and then there is the account of the woman he called a dog. So if you want to find offense, you’ll find offense in anything.”
Colbert said that Trump “is a man of his word, he says what he means and he means what he says. Well, what character does that imitate? Who is that? God. God says what He means and He means what He says, so I believe that God saw in the character of Donald Trump a fighter.”
“The church has had its butt kicked for the last 100 years,” Colbert said, adding that God chose a brawler like Trump because He knew that America could not survive with a “mamsy-wamsy, love and peace kind of a president.”
