‘God Had Had Enough’: Chris McDonald Says God Killed Rep. Elijah Cummings for Opposing Trump
By Kyle Mantyla | October 17, 2019 11:56 am

Right-wing commentator and radical conspiracy theorist Chris McDonald streamed a special edition of his “The MC Files” program this morning in response to the news that Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings had died. McDonald and his guest, Maryland pastor Stacey Shiflett, spent the entire program attacking Cummings as corrupt, unbiblical, and ungodly, and asserting that God had taken his life because of his opposition to President Donald Trump.

1. When God has had enough, McDonald will be the first to know.

The first to go.

10. I think Mr. McDonald's host might need to be made aware of the content he is creating.

Festering hate and vileness. I know Patreon has policies against hate speech, if he's on there, he needs to be reported.

3. Hate Speech n/t

4. As soon as they wake up from their meth-crash, they start their online spewing...

5. Of course

And these hypocrites will be the first to scream bloody murder when one of their loathsome bunch dies and everyone isn't immediately and sufficiently reverent.

6. Completely expected

The right wing commentators don't know anything outside of their bubbles. I keep thinking some of them would 'get it' sooner or later. Doesn't ever happen though. What's absolutely hilarious is the notion that they somehow have some sort of special connection to God. Hypocrisy knows no bounds. I blocked FOX from my channel lineup log ago because I could so easily see how blatantly hypocritical they are. The weird thing is that right wing commentators actually believe their own bs. Scary for sure.

8. Vileness on full display

Corruption (on a massive and international scale) and hate are what we are up against.

9. Wow, they are absolutely awful.

11. Appealing to Trump's base.

2016 exit poll question: "White born-again or evangelical Christian?"

Yes: 26%
Voted:
Trump: 80%
Clinton: 16%
Other / No answer: 4%

No: 74%
Voted:
Clinton 60%
Trump: 34%
Other / No answer: 6%

If none of the "white evangelical Christians" had voted, Clinton would've also won the "white vote" by about 5.5%. Instead, she lost that voting bloc by about 20% due to Trump's overwhelming victory among the so-called born-again white Christians.

In my opinion, once a person starts accepting what they WANT to believe in a particular aspect of their thinking, it's easier for them to accept other ideas that they also WANT to believe to be true.

12. This must be Biblical and Godly.

13. And yet another, but this guy is black!

I've posted about Peterson before.
