MTG Says Trump Isn’t A Real Christian

Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told The New York Times on Monday that President Donald Trump’s behavior suggests he does not have “sincere Christian faith.”

Greene criticized Trump for stating that he hates his political opponents immediately after Erika Kirk forgave the alleged assassin of her husband, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, during a Sept. 21 memorial honoring his life. The congresswoman said that Trump’s remarks “shows where his heart is” and “proves he does not have faith.”

“That was absolutely the worst statement,” Greene stated. “It just shows where his heart is. And that’s the difference, with her having a sincere Christian faith, and proves that he does not have any faith.”

A White House spokesperson accused Greene of being “petty” and abandoning her constituents in a statement to the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Congresswoman Greene is quitting on her constituents in the middle of her term and abandoning the consequential fight we’re in — we don’t have time for her petty bitterness,” the spokesperson said.

Kirk tearfully said that she forgave her husband’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, because “it’s what Christ did” and was what her husband would have done. Greene said after that moment, she realized that the conservative movement cannot “keep pummeling enemies” and instead show forgiveness.

“You just keep pummeling your enemies, no matter what. And as a Christian, I don’t believe in doing that. I agree with Erika Kirk, who did the hardest thing possible and said it out loud,” Greene said. “After Charlie died, I realized that I’m part of this toxic culture. I really started looking at my faith. I wanted to be more like Christ.”
