Talarico Invokes Jesus to Justify His Positions and It Goes All Kinds of Wrong – RedState– redstate.com

EXCERPT:
We’ve seen a lot of wild statements from Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico.
But Talarico posted a screed on Sunday about how his healthcare positions were based on “biblical grounds,” then misused Jesus to justify his takes.
When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible.
When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit.
When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power.
When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds. pic.twitter.com/cpxUXeYE5W

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. So when I fight for universal healthcare, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.
When Jesus fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge to turn a profit. So when I say that no child in the state of Texas should go to bed hungry, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.
And when the Hebrew prophets saw corruption in high places, they spoke truth to power. So when I take on the politicians who are serving themselves and not the people, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.
