Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock slammed Trump’s move to market scripture during a Christian holy week.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) slammed Donald Trump for hawking $60 “God Bless the USA” Bibles — though he said he’s not surprised by the former president’s latest merchandising efforts.
“The Bible does not need Donald Trump’s endorsement, and Jesus in the very last week of his life chased the money changers out of the temple, those who would take sacred things and use them as cheap relics to be sold in the marketplace,” the Georgia Democrat and working pastor said Sunday during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“The sad thing is that none of us are surprised by this. This is what we expect from the former president,” Warnock added, noting other items Trump has branded and sold: steaks, sneakers and a real estate training school.
Money from the sale of the Bibles is not being funneled to Trump’s campaign, according to the Bible’s website, but Trump did license the agreement — which means he’s likely benefiting from it.
