Trump voter tells MS NOW he's appalled after seeing Jesus picture: 'I'm ashamed'
Attempts by Donald Trump to put out the firestorm he created by posting a meme picture of himself as Jesus on Truth Social seems to be flopping, MS NOW is reporting.
On Monday the president defended the picture, which had been taken down, claiming that he was being portrayed as a doctor, but in interviews on the street, self-identified Christians and Catholics uniformly criticized the president when shown a printout of the picture, with one Trump voter claiming he was “ashamed.”
Speaking with Anna Cabrera from in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan, reporter Laura Haefeli told the host, “One thing is clear is this could actually cost him possibly the Catholic vote in this country, because people here outside of the most recognizable cathedral in the country are upset.”
Shown the picture, one woman told her, “Disgusting, just forget it. It's evil. Just evil. Yeah. Nothing more to say about it. He's crazy. Done.”
Reporting from Bradenton, Florida, MS NOW’s Alex Tabet, got similar responses when sharing the picture.
One man responded, “Personally? It's disgusting. I talked with my wife about it earlier. I mean, Jesus Christ is my lord and savior. And that right there is, I mean, that's I don't really have words for that. That's disgusting.”
“As a Christian, how do you feel when you see this image?” Tabet asked a man standing by his truck.
“Offended,” the unidentified man quickly shot back before continuing, “ Yeah. I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed that he would actually do that. The man I voted for and trust."
”Politics are one thing, but stepping into that area is a little bit different. You know, a little bit stings for me a little bit," another man stated.
