ZitatHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Thursday push urging House Democrats to begin drawing up articles of impeachment has made her even more of a hero to some on the left.
Now, one leftist is even comparing her to Jesus Christ.
Time opinion contributor and failed Democratic congressional candidate Christopher Hale posted a tweet Thursday comparing the House speaker to Christianity’s central figure.
“I say this with total sincerity,” Hale tweeted after Pelosi’s announcement. “Nancy Pelosi reminds me of Jesus.”
“She’s an enduring witness to truth, to justice, to mercy, and to compassion. The President and his Christian supporters could learn something from her!”
Pope Francis Compares Trump to Herod, Who Tried to Kill Jesus Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. 5 Dec 2019
ROME — Pope Francis has compared U.S. President Donald Trump to the murderous King Herod who massacred innocent children in ancient Palestine while trying to kill the baby Jesus, a Jesuit journal revealed Thursday.
Speaking with his brother Jesuits during his recent visit to Thailand, the Argentinian pope minced no words in his thinly veiled condemnation of the U.S. president and his administration, suggesting that like a modern-day Herod, Mr. Trump separates families at the border while allowing drugs to freely flow into the country.
“In other parts there are walls that even separate children from parents. Herod comes to mind,” Francis said. “Yet for drugs, there’s no wall to keep them out.”
“The phenomenon of migration is compounded by war, hunger and a ‘defensive mindset,’ which makes us in a state of fear believe that you can defend yourself only by strengthening borders. At the same time, there is exploitation.”
In this Q&A session, the pontiff also proposed that the rise of populism is at the root of migrants’ problems in Europe.
“I must admit that I am shocked by some of the narratives I hear in Europe about borders,” the pope said. “Populism is gaining strength.”
“The phenomenon of refugees has always existed, but today it is better known because of social differences, hunger, political tensions and especially war. For these reasons, migratory movements are intensifying,” he said.
“What is the answer the world gives? The policy of waste,” he continued. “Refugees are waste material. The Mediterranean has been turned into a cemetery. The notorious cruelty of some detention centers in Libya touches my heart.”
“The Christian tradition has a rich evangelical experience in dealing with the problem of refugees. We also remember the importance of welcoming the foreigner as the Old Testament teaches us,” he said.

Pope Francis needs to rediscover Jesus' Gospel message and let that inspire his speeches.
The world doesn't need a liberal politician for Pope. Lead people to Christ or resign!!
