Hillary Clinton on family separations at border: Jesus didn’t say, ‘Let the children suffer’
Washington Examiner ^ | 06/18/2018 | by Emma Ayers

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.”

And not just murdered, but their body parts sold! Hillary has no problem with that.

I finally had a jaw dropping experience after obsessively hating the Clinton since 1992.

The nerve. The hubris. The hypocrisy.

I knew it was wrong when Good Housekeeping (I think) in the checkout lane in 1993 showed H and her mother smiling and it said H’s childhood was lots of love and lots of cookie baking. What ridiculous PR bunk to normalize this shrew.
Hillary is a bisexual lesbian lover of Huma Abedin. She was aware of and enabled the sexual predator Bill and she coordinated the vicious slanders and attacks against his victims. She covered up Benghazi. She lied repeatedly. She has been a violent drunk for decades. She laundered money in the Foundation. And she destroyed Rose Law Firm records during a trial. Now she pretended that you wipe a cloth over a laptop to clean it while she hired the team to do BitBleach removal of records needed by the authorities. She adamantly champions killing babies and selling their body parts for money.

NOW SHE IS PREACHING THE GOSPEL TO US AND LECTURING US FROM THE BIBLE.
I fear the End of Days. I fear for our Republic.

Jesus said, ‘Suffer the little children unto me.’

Jesus lives in Mexico.

The rats are going whole hog with their attempted scriptural references these days. They think they’re so much smarter than everyone else.

...Jesus said, Suffer [allow] little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.....

He did NOT say to use children as human shields, or to exploit them as actors, to enable illegals to gain entry to our country!!!!

At least for the time that they are in those shelters, the children who come across the border with illegals live MUCH BETTER than many children of poor and even some middle-class families of legitimate US citizens!!!!

Let’s take care of our own children, and stop the SJW weeping over those who are trying to sneak over our borders illegally!!!!

Rich words from one of the biggest traitors in American History.

Just mention to those leftard aquaintences of yours that obama did exactly the same thing and then tell them to get their heads out of their asses and to stop ass-licking criminals.

Smack them in the face with the truth and if they refuse to accept it that’s their dementia.

I think it was Abe Lincoln who said, “Every fool, in his folly, can find a bit of Scripture to back up his false claims”, or words to that affect...


Unfortunately I dont think they teach school kids about Lincoln in public schools these days.
