Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) used her Christian faith to ardently defend the rights of LGBTQ Americans during a congressional committee hearing on Thursday ― calling out the “bigotry” of those who use Christianity to discriminate against this marginalized community.
The lawmaker suggested that Jesus himself would be “maligned as a radical” by today’s Congress for his message of love and inclusion.
She said it strikes her that “if Christ himself walked through these doors and said what he said thousands of years ago ― that we should love our neighbor and our enemy, that we should welcome the stranger, fight for the least of us, that it is easier ... for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into a kingdom of heaven ― he would be maligned as a radical and rejected from these doors.”
Ocasio-Cortez was speaking at a Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing on the ways the Trump administration has tried to undermine LGBTQ rights.

Transgendered man = biological female, right? I get confused...
Jesus Would Be Maligned As Radical By Today’s Congress..
Actually she’s right. “Today’s” congress, the House anyway, is led by Democrats and they hate Christians and conservatives so he would be considered radical... to the left.
Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
She needs to keep the name Jesus outta her filthy mouth. DO NOT even THINK she can tell ME about Jesus. She spews nothing but hatred.
Ugly, dirty rat that she is.
More importantly, he rose from the dead to prove that He overcame death which is what sin is and that we can also overcome sin.
How about when agnostics do it?
Asking for a FRiend. (s) nully, an agnostic, who's been known to do that...
Look how they treat VP Mike Pence, one of the most godly, kindest, gracious representative in government today. If they eviscerate such a true follower of Jesus like in such vile manner you can bet the LIEberals would treat Jesus even worse.
And how many Democrats would support a government based on Christian principles? I believe that answer is zero.
She’s half right. He would get boo’d out of the demonicRAT controlled House of Representatives but he would be welcomed in the Republican run Senate.
If Jesus was a Republican (humor me), Democrats would have him drawn and quartered. Remember it was the Democrats who booed God.
God will not be mocked.
Even the devil knew scripture.
According to AOC Jesus would also approve of dismembering unborn babies alive.
Can’t say for sure, but I imagine if AOC met Jesus face to face, Jesus would say, “Get thee behind me.”
Yes. That’s why I think ours calendar should start at Easter. There is no Biblical authority for Jesus’ birthday, and we fail at starting the year with Dec 25th anyway.
Besides, all men are born, a birth is a meaningfull event, certainly.
But the most singular event, the very proof of the Word, was the resurrection!
And the Bible fixes the exact date!
“Look how they treat VP Mike Pence, one of the most godly, kindest, gracious representative in government today.”
Yessiree! Pelosi was after him the other day calling him unqualified in reference to the coronavirus task force. As if she has any qualifications other than A+ in slander and being rather devious and absolutely deceptive.
And voted Him and Israel off their party platform. Not once, not twice, but THRICE!
I have the same reaction when Howdy Doody the Sodomite attempts to give us his twisted interpretation of scripture.
True, but even the demons believe and tremble. The Democrats? Not so much....
I believe Jesus would command the demon to depart these poor affected souls.
*OUCH* that’s gonna leave a mark (of the beast?)...
