We reported on James Talarico last month when he declared that too many Christians have forgotten Jesus and worship at the feet of Donald Trump: "A business cheat, a pathological liar, a serial adulterer, a twice-impeached insurrectionist, a convicted felon, and an adjudicated rapist." Talarico is a Texas state representative and "proud progressive." If he's a proud progressive, then we're certain his beliefs butt up against Christianity.
Now he's worried that Christian nationalists — the next right-wing bogeyman after "white supremacist" fizzed out from overuse — are explicitly ignoring the teachings of Christ.

We already have David French and Matthew Dowd to tell us all how we're doing Christianity wrong. We don't need this clown too.
Democrats have even weaponized Jesus!

Christian nationalism doesn’t exist, but you know that, yet still make a false statement. You invoke Jesus for political gain and to judge your opponents. We see and know who you really are

You’re such a hypocrite.

Then you use His name for your own ends. You should be ashamed.

We guess it's OK to have a Christian in political power as long as it's the right type of Christian — the hippie version who would serve as an abortion clinic escort.

“Jesus lost”? He conquered sin and death and is seated at the right hand of the Father, whence He shall come again to judge your smug and blasphemous ass

Shame on you. This is so dumb.

Nobody worships Donald Trump … not even the scary Christian nationalists, whoever they may be.
