Evangelist Franklin Graham compared 10 members of the GOP to Judas Iscariot on Thursday after they voted to approve President Donald Trump's second impeachment.
"...the House Democrats impeached him because they hate him and want to do as much damage as they can," Graham wrote. "And these ten, from [Trump's] own party, joined in the feeding frenzy. It makes you wonder what the thirty pieces of silver were that [Democratic House] Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi promised for this betrayal."

much better information than from a blasphemous pope!
He’s not comparing Trump to Christ, he’s comparing these traitors to Judas. These people betrayed 70 million patriots. They pretended to be patriots and turned out to be traitors.
Have you never called someone a “Judas”?
Get over yourself.
I’m not sure even this is an apt comparison, and though I appreciate the support for the President...this is a bit of a bridge too far.
No kidding. Hey DonW, clean up your own house. You have a Judas for a Pope.
Christianity Today ISN’T. They are of the Synagogue of Satan.
He’s not comparing Trump to Christ, he’s comparing these traitors to Judas.
Call them what they are then. TRAITORS. Worse yet, call them DEMOCRATS.
Why? Betrayal is betrayal. No, Trump is NOT Jesus, but the slamming of someone who works in the side of mostly good is familiar. Evil hates saving the babies and helping Israel. Bibi’s betrayal was disgusting.
I agree.
Thank you post #22.......‼️
He’s not comparing Trump to Jesus. “Thirty pieces of silver” a very common literary metaphor for the rewards of betrayal and probably has been ever since the words were first written.
Speaking of which, what exactly did they get out of it? Personally I just think it was just ego gratification. They just wanted that McCain “Maverick” glow of basking in media and Dem approval and showing they weren’t anything like those tacky deplorables.
But they’ll soon find out that nobody loves a traitor. They’ve given up their honor and the Dems will have no need of or use for them now. When Judas realized what he’d done and tried to give back the money, the chief priests just shrugged and said “what is that to us?”. They should expect the same.
The “impeachment” was nothing but legislative masturbation.
Without a Senate trial it was a premature ejaculation.
Does Nanzi spit or swallow?
The judas ten pack of republican lite.
Wow! I just posted that same connection on Facebook:
Mathew 27:20: But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.
21: “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabas,” they answered.
22: “What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ” Pilate asked. They all answered, Crucify him!”
23: “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
24:When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”
25: All the people answered, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!”
Don W........ignorance can’t hide ........think before you speak..... cuz willful ignorance is dangerous.......
Let’s not stab at the only person on planet earth that DID NOT stab President Trump in the back.
That is gonna leave a mark.
Need more like Franklin Graham❤️‼️ And pastors like Jack Hibbs‼️
Earlier today, I made the same connection. For the Bible reference see my post #34.
I posted the Bible verses on the betrayal in Post #34.
