Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 14h

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

I do feel like there's a bit of deja vu going on here (for me, at least). I mean, my entire book is about how white evangelicals mobilized for Trump *despite* his overt embrace of Nazis, white supremacists, etc., covering it over because he was anointed and would deliver their Christian nation. 1/x

posting with obvious pride about remodeling the lincoln bathroom in (very ugly) marble the day before SNAP dries up is a level of out-of-touch that i don't think any president has ever matched, even if it doesn't break through the news.

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

Food stamps are used overwhelming by people near the poverty line to feed young and old. When they end tomorrow, it will be devastating for millions of the most vulnerable in society.

So obviously far-right influencers are using this to push racist disinformation
