Republican Says Charlie Kirk Would Have Been Jesus' '13th Disciple'

This idiot is my congresscritter



https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-republican-troy-nehls-jesus-13-disciple-2131492

Texas Republican Representative Troy Nehls said Wednesday that slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk would have been Jesus' "13th disciple" if he lived during biblical times.

The remarks came during a House of Representatives hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel, whose handling of the investigation into Kirk's shooting has drawn questions from across the political spectrum.

Why It Matters
Kirk, 31, a father of two, was credited with energizing young Republicans and aiding President Donald Trump's 2024 return to the White House. His Arizona-based group, Turning Point USA, drew evangelical Christian youth into politics through social media, a popular podcast and campus events.

Nehls needs more electrolytes. After all, the Bizzaro Jesus loves guns and violence, hates LGBTQ and all othe initialized acronyms that identify other peacefull individuals. You can't appreciate a more gentle and intelligent panoramic view of humanity with your head up your ass.
You need more electrolytes.

For many political people in a state that is missing one more "s" in it's name. If you don't know who you are, I will give you a clue: you like Humpty Trumpty, Greg Abbot, Ken Paxton and the like. Just put the extra letter at the end of the current state's name.

I'd laugh if it wasn't for the fact that this asswipe wasn't so serious about his statement.
"disciple" indeed.

I don't think he's a disciple of the Christian Jesus but he's fully qualified as a disciple of the orange MAGAT Jesus who actually appears to be the incarnation of the anti christ.
