Cuomo responds to Trump: 'Here in New York we actually read the Bible'

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) responded to President Trump’s display of the Bible in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church Wednesday saying, “Here in New York we actually read the Bible.”

“The president held up the Bible the other day in Washington, D.C.,” Cuomo said during a Wednesday press conference. “Here in New York we actually read the Bible."

The governor began the press conference by reading verses from the Bible that he said “are especially appropriate for today in this time of where we are,” as protests over the death of George Floyd continue to rock New York City and the country.

Cuomo first cited Matthew 5:9 which says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

The governor then moved to Mark 3:25, which says, “If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

Cuomo also pointed to Psalms 34:14, “Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace and work to maintain it” before finally referencing James 3:18: “The seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”

According to Cuomo New York is a Christian state.

I wonder if the ACLU will issue a statement.

I am stunned over the liberal meltdown over Trump visiting that church.

I know they criticize everything he does, but in the midst of rioting, they focus on this event as being some crime against humanity.

So says the man who signed murder into law in New York State so that body part sellers could kill children right through the moment of birth to have more valuable parts to sell.

“Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace and work to maintain it”

So, I’m taking it that Cuomo hasn’t talked with his Antifa peeps lately. Has he talked to any of his bros that provide abortions?

'Here in New York we actually read the Bible'

IS THAT THE BIBLE THAT CONDEMNS ABORTIONS AND HOMOSEXUAL SINS? HUH? AREN'T THOSE THE SINS THAT YOUR OWN POLITICAL PARTY ARE SO VERY PROUD OF?
