Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) bashed former President Trump online and said Christians who support him ā€œdonā€™t understandā€ their religion.

ā€œIā€™m going to go out on a NOT limb here: this man is not a Christian,ā€ Kinzinger said on X, formerly known as Twitter, responding to Trumpā€™s Christmas post. ā€œIf you are a Christian who supports him you donā€™t understand your own religion.ā€

Kinzinger, one of Trumpā€™s fiercest critics in the GOP, said in his post that ā€œTrump is weak, meager, smelly, victim-ey, belly-achey, but he ainā€™t a Christian and heā€™s not ā€˜Godā€™s man.ā€™ā€

    Their religion is hate and harm.

    That is distinctly different from their scripture, which is the exact opposite of those things. They call themselves ā€œChristianā€ while spitting in the face of the teachings of the man their ā€œreligionā€ is named after.

      I was with you at first, but scriptures have plenty of problematic stuff as well.

      Yes Christians today are more selfish and cold hearted than the Bible would have them to be.

      On the other hand, Christians are also less murderous and misogynistic than their scriptures dictate. And thatā€™s not a compliment to Christians.

      The Bible just kinda hits different when youā€™re a woman in 300 CE.
