The Democrats are more than capable of destroying themselves. All the Republicans really have to do is just it back and let them do it.
Unfortunately, GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk didn’t want to do that:
Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk says that Pontius Pilate gave more rights to Jesus during his trial than Democrats have given President Trump in this process.

This is not a drill:
“…When Jesus was falsely accused of Treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers. During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus, than Democrats have afforded this president in this process.” #ShamImpeachment pic.twitter.com/n8FZRe64eo

We can only assume that Loudermilk was very proud of that comparison, since he himself tweeted it out. But maybe leaning into it is not the right approach if credibility is what he’s after.

This is just like the time Jesus was tried for being a witch in Salem.

Trump is being treated more unfairly than the crucified Christ is a take.

Same, girl. Same.
Excited for another week of comparing Trump to Jesus.

No. Please no. Somebody rein it in.
Or not:
Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) is now comparing impeachment to the Pearl Harbor attack.
— Griswold Christmas Vacation (@HashtagGriswold) December 18, 2019
All we want for Christmas is for this to stop.
So we've got Pearl Harbor, Salem, and Christ's crucifixion so far today. Anticipating additional comparisons to 9/11, the Holocaust, and Nickelback https://t.co/ogOKr6Cf32

Please. Please make it stop.
