Chelsea ‘Christian values’ Handler gets downright biblical in her take on GOP tax bill
The U.S. Senate narrowly passed the GOP tax bill early Saturday morning, and the meltdown among liberals on social media has been nothing less than astounding, with Patton Oswalt declaring, for example, “There’s no America now.”
It wasn’t surprising at all that America’s own pope, ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd, would try to revoke the GOP’s claim of holding “Christian values,” but it was a little unsuspected coming from Chelsea Handler. On second thought, it’s a stupid argument that doesn’t mesh with reality at all, so consider this tweet not at all unsuspected:
What Republicans did last night to the poor and middle class in this country to reward huge corporations and the very wealthy is sickening. So, for all the religious beliefs you hold, rewarding the people who fund your campaigns must be somewhere in the Bible.

Yeah, Chelsea, they're hand writing the verses in the margins right now https://t.co/un6ZZXhtCH

Confession time: “Where in the Bible …?” is not one of our favorite games to play, because we always end up playing against people who apparently know the Bible even less than we do. We don’t recall that passage in the Bible, but we also don’t remember anything about handing over all of your income to the government for it to distribute.
But again, maybe we just remember things differently.
The authors of the Bible would find them disgusting. Jesus cast their lot out of the temple. #WhoWouldJesusRob https://t.co/9sK5efF2bS

Yes, they are in the Book of Deplorables. I believe Christ spoke about them when he tossed the money changers at his Father's Temple. https://t.co/DZ77pKT5sa

27 When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death. 2 And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius[a] Pilate the governor. https://t.co/R3ButtGyCd
