David Jolly to Trump, Mike Johnson: ‘The Jesus They Celebrate Today Would Be Inclusive of the Transgender Community’

EXCERPT:

JOLLY: "I mean, there’s a little bit of dirty political pool here, but I think we got to hit it head on and suggest to President Trump and Mike Johnson and Senator Blackburn and others who are relying on the words of their Christ and their Jesus they celebrate today to condemn Joe Biden, to suggest to them that actually, the Jesus they celebrate today would be inclusive of the transgender community and would be supportive of the transgender community, and command all Christians, including Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and others who celebrate today that, in fact, they should love the transgender community as they love their own god, I’m not sure the theology upon which they rely to criticize Joe Biden. I would say, politically, it’s stupid, because among the 5-10% of actual persuadable voters, part of the concern about today's Republican party is exactly this behavior. Why would you use time politically, if you're a Republican, to celebrate that you want to condemn and exclude fellow Americans, that you do not want to provide equity and equality to all people? Because that is, essentially, the message that was received by millions of Americans today, and I think it's wrong theologically, it's wrong morally, and it's absolutely stupid politically."
