A supporter of Donald Trump attending a MAGA rally in sweltering Las Vegas stumped MSNBC host Alex Witt on Sunday when he responded to a question about the former president promising retribution against his enemies by linking him to Jesus spreading "love."

In an interview with MSNBC's Vaughn Hillyard, a man identified as Ira Kimball was asked, "If Donald Trump does get back in the White House, would you want him to seek retribution against those who have brought these charges against him?"

"When we think about Jesus Christ himself, everybody went against him because he was preaching love and doing what was right for the people," the MAGA supporter replied. "Trump is doing what is right for this nation and because he is doing that, everybody is against him."

After watching the clip, Witt stated, " By the way, that person you interviewed? I thought he was going to say that Donald Trump is preaching love. At which point I was going to go, really?"
