Hillary Clinton weighed in Monday morning on the ongoing controversy regarding the Trump administration’s "no-tolerance” border policy, suggesting that Jesus would not condone the actions of the American border authorities.
At an awards lunch for the Women’s Forum of New York, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee called out “those who selectively use the Bible” to give grounds for the separations, which were reported by the Department of Justice on Friday.
“I went to a lot of years of Sunday school — even taught it from time to time. I’ve studied both the Old and New Testament, and what is being done using the name of religion is contrary to everything I was ever taught," Clinton said. "Jesus said, ‘Suffer the little children unto me.’ He did not say, ‘Let the children suffer.’”
Clinton’s comments appear to be in response to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ invoking scripture last Thursday in response to criticisms from various Christian groups, as well as well-known evangelical leader Rev. Franklin Graham.
“Persons who violate the law of our nation are subject to prosecution,” Sessions said. “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes.”
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders backed up Sessions’ remarks during a later press briefing, in which she told CNN’s Jim Acosta that it is “very biblical to enforce the law.”

Except in Haiti. In Haiti they can suffer, right Hil?
They’re not my children. I’m not the one letting them suffer.
If any kid had to sit through a Sunday school lesson from her, that would be the ultimate in child abuse.
Hillary quoting Jesus...
Man I really hate it when evil atheists start pulling lines out of the Bible. It’s like violation.
Wasn’t it under Bill Clinton that the law was passed to incarcerate the parents? 1997?
A country without borders is not a country.
Which is exactly what they want.
Saint Hillary and Father Bubba....
If Jesus showed up today and told the Hildabeast to go and sin no more, she would likely say, “Don’t order me around, you sexist, religious fanatic, f***n Jew b*****d!”
We have a pretty good idea of just how much she values the Word of God.
Surprised that the witch didn’t outright burst into flames just uttering his name.
Jesus also didn’t say commit fraud by crossing the border and falsely claiming asylum and that children with you are yours.
I’m curious about whether American citizens who are prosecuted for crimes and detained will now be allowed to bring their children with them. Why the double standard?— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) June 18, 2018
I wouldn’t stand too close to Hillary when she is quoting Scripture.
the only times I want to hear more from her is when she’s pleading the 5th Amendment or asking for seconds on gruel at Guantanamo
Where was her sympathy and compassion re the Americans in Benghazi ?
One thing I can’t abide is when people throw my Christianity in my face for their own reasons. It’s the absolute lowest.
Yessir, from the woman who trafikked kids out of Haiti!
The woman supports abortion. How many children have burned, sliced apart or stabbed in the back of neck?
Simply I say to her “God will not be mocked”
How about all of the suffering of innocent children via abortions, to the tune of over 60 million and counting
God says don’t talk about the speck in your brothers eye when you have a log in your own
