A funny thing happened when Jerry Falwell Jr and his wife visited Donald Trump at his office in New York City ahead of the GOP nominee’s big meeting with evangelicals on Tuesday — look over Mrs. Falwells’s left shoulder:
Honored to introduce @realDonaldTrump at religious leader summit in NYC today! He did incredible job! @beckifalwell pic.twitter.com/e2eBSbQwb0

Here’s a closeup:
Whoops!
Falwell took a lot of heat for the photo and responded with this:

Enter #NeverTrump Senator Ben Sasse who gave Falwell a mini lecture on what he’s quoting from the Bible:
That's not the text, Pastor.
Jesus came to comfort the poor & humble; not bow before those claiming worldly strength https://t.co/uIA1LWBxxD— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) June 22, 2016
Boom.
Politicians are now the ones teaching proper theology to pastors/religious leaders. Amazing. https://t.co/b9KMNHo2Pn

You gotta love Ben Sasse staying on the line of Scripture and understanding the verse in its proper context. https://t.co/5kCqGTj3fQ

He knows it's not the text, he's a con artist, that's why he's backing a fellow con artist. https://t.co/G63yGYEMMf
