Some strange stuff is happening in American politics, but this is truly amazing. Today the Times News ran a column by Michael Reagan entitled “Who to crucify? Trump or Barabbas?”
For those of you who don’t know the Christian New Testament, the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate gave the mob a choice on which prisoner to crucify, Jesus or a murderer named Barabbas? The crowd is reported to have demanded that Jesus be crucified and Barabbas go free.
Now, according to Michael Reagan, the crowd would yell for Barabbas to go free and Trump be crucified.
Do I need to spell this out? Michael Reagan is saying that Trump is the equivalent of Jesus Christ. I may be an atheist, but I think that is way over the top. I think Christians might even consider it blasphemy.
