Critics use Trump appointee's scripture reading to remind him of former president's sins

Donald Trump's former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sought to honor his Christian faith on Sunday, but was swiftly reminded he worked for someone who is known for his sins.

The former official posted the following Bible verse along with a "Sunday scripture" tag.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19

In response to Pompeo's Bible quote, one user, @Str8OuttaCmptin, quoted Pompeo in November 2020 as saying, "There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration."

"These bible quotes don't mean anything if they just serve as wool for your wolf in sheep's clothing costumes," they added. "If you don't already know this, you'll soon learn."

Another user responded with a verse of his own. @FrankAmari2 wrote, "Here's another from Matthew, Mike: For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in Matthew 25:35."

@mowaqa8 chimed in:

"The aspect of your faith that you r choosing to emphasize are out of line with the letter & spirit of the American principles of secularism & republican government on which America’s foundations are premised. Not to mention running afoul of American & international laws."

@JenResistedAGN created a Trump-themed Bible verse:

“'I did try and f---- her. She was married. I moved on her like a b-----. Then all of a sudden I see her. I’m automatically attracted to beautiful. I just start kissing. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. Grab ‘em by the p----. You can do anything.' (Trump 9:5)"
