'Beyond the pale': MAGA lawmaker says SNL actor headed to hell over sketch mocking Trump

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) suggested Jesus Christ would send "Saturday Night Live" actors and writers to hell for a sketch that mocked President Donald Trump.

In a sketch over the weekend, comedian James Austin Johnson mentioned Jesus during his impersonation of Trump.

"The stock market did a Jesus," the comedian said. "It died. Then on the third day, it was risen, and then on the fourth day, it died again, possibly never to return, just like Jesus."

On Monday, Burchett reacted to the sketch in an interview with Real America's Voice host Eric Bolling.

"I remember my daddy had some scripture, it was on an old — in his bathroom," the Republican lawmaker recalled. "And it said that Jesus wouldn't be mocked... You deny me before me, and I'll deny you before the gates of heaven, and that just all fits in there."

"It makes me sad that that gets passed off as humor," he continued. "At some point, Christians are going to say enough is enough, and we're going to, you know, the advertisers on those things will have to pay the price, we say we're not going to buy our cars, we're not going to buy our computers, or whoever or whatever is on that."

"And so I, but I'm going to, I'm going to find out who the advertisers were doing that, and I am going to make a, make a few calls to some people because that, that's beyond the pale, that is just pathetic, it really is."
