“As a Christian, I don’t think you can be both MAGA and Christian,” one person wrote in the comments of the video.

Two weeks ago, Jen Hamilton, a nurse with a sizable following on TikTok and Instagram, picked up her Bible and made a video that would quickly go viral.

“Basically, I sat down at my kitchen table and began to read from Matthew 25 while overlaying MAGA policies that directly oppose the character and nature of Jesus’ teachings,” she told HuffPost.

In the comments of the video ― which currently has more than 8.6 million views on TikTok ― many (Christians and atheists alike) applauded Hamilton for using straight Scripture as a way of offering commentary. Others picked a bone with Christians who uncritically support Trump.

    And what I’m saying is that Christians will accept hateful people because they believe God’s love will change them.

    So… yes, acceptance is kind of the point.

    Edit: we’re saying the same thing, I’m saying that expecting any kind of worthwhile change from Christians is unrealistic.

        No, former Christian disillusioned with Christians. Easy misunderstanding to have, though — in these troubling times. I understand you.
