Last week we told you about how the White House press corps was ganging up with the White House to shut down journalists Simon Ateba, who has been described as "rude." They're threatening to take away his press credentials if he doesn't shape up, and all of the other reporters in the room seem fine with that. That's a stark change from when the Trump administration removed press credentials from CNN's Jim Acosta and Playboy White House correspondent Brian Karem, who tried to pick a fight with Sebastian Gorka at an event Trump held for independent journalists.
Karem had a habit of running into interesting people:
Met a young Hispanic boy while riding Metro. Saw my press credentials and asked me "why does the President hate me?" @realDonaldTrump
— Brian J. Karem (@BrianKarem) August 24, 2017
Yeah, sounds legit.
Anyway, now Karem is tweeting about a chat he had with a woman about Donald Trump's supposed Christianity:
Met a woman today at Bristols in Louisville.

Said she was a “Devout Christian.”
Everytime she meets a Trump supporter who claims to be Christian she asks them to name “One thing- not 2 or 3 or 4” but one thing Trump has done that Jesus would approve of.

"'Nobody has ever named one thing' she told me of the hundreds of Christians she’s asked."
Were those hundreds of Christians named David French and Matthew Dowd?
Nonsense

A “devout Christian” would not ask that question because they would know Jesus loves us and died for us all. A “devout Christian” would not “judge” or ask another Christian to “judge” anyone by what their perception of that person is.

I'll take things that NEVER happened for $1,000, Alex. Imagine thinking this scenario up in your head, posting it to Twitter & thinking its believable. 🤣🤡

Which is peace between Israel & the U.A.E.
It was said to be impossible.
Trump did it.
He appointed Judges who stopped the murder of babies. I think Jesus is pretty pleased by that.

I'm not a Christian and I can name more than 3 (FIRST Step Act; cutting taxes; policies that decreased poverty; anti-human trafficking policies etc)... the woman you supposedly spoke to is a liar.

This certainly sounds like a thing that happened.
