In a scathing critique, prominent anti-Trump attorney George Conway took aim at evangelical Christians who continue to support former President Donald Trump despite his numerous indictments.
Conway, known for his vocal opposition to Trump, used Twitter as a platform to deliver a Trumpian twist on the Bible's Ten Commandments, tailored to excuse Trump's un-Christian behavior.
One of Conway's modified commandments read, "Honor thy father and thy mother, and burieth thy mother on thy father's golf course." This sarcastic alteration alludes to Trump's controversial decision to bury his mother on one of his golf courses. Another modified commandment stated, "Thou shalt not commit adultery, but if thou shalt do so with thy porn star, thou shalt payeth her off through an intermediary and falsifieth thy accounting record." This pointed reference highlights Trump's alleged affair with an adult film star and subsequent hush-money payments.
Conway even used the commandment against stealing to mock Trump's frequent misspelling of the word "stolen" as "stollen." He wrote, "Thou shalt not steal, unless thou needeth to steeleth one moreth than a certain number of popular votes or unless thou can hideth thy stollen documents at thy bathroom in thy resort." This satirical remark draws attention to Trump's claims of election fraud and his alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Conway's Twitter post was inspired by a separate tweet from Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL), who attributed the victory of Trump ally Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) in the GOP's House speaker election to the power of prayer. Conway's response serves as a scathing rebuke of Steube's assertion, suggesting that evangelical Christians' unwavering support for Trump is contradictory to their religious principles.
As the debate surrounding Trump's legacy continues, Conway's critique highlights the ongoing division within the Republican Party and the complex relationship between Trump and his evangelical base.
