Pelosi seriously needs to brush up on her verses…
While discussing her plans to include prisoner relief into future COVID-19 relief legislation, Pelosi actually exploited the bible to prove her point by quoting a parable found in Matthew 25:
“In our caucus, we are very devoted to the Gospel of Matthew. ‘When I was hungry, you fed me. When I was homeless, you sheltered me. When I was in prison, you visited me,’ and so this for us is part of our value system.”

Of course, this verse really isn’t being used in the best context, which many users on Twitter were quick to point out:
“There’s also that do not kill do not steal thingy…”

“Hypocrisy. When I was hungry, you fed me with my neighbors forcefully taken earnings, when I was homeless, you sheltered me with my neighbors forcefully taken earnings. @SpeakerPelosi cannot justify her amoral & hedonistic worldview with a Biblical worldview; they conflict.”
Hypocrisy.
When I was hungry, you fed me with my neighbors forcefully taken earnings, when I was homeless, you sheltered me with my neighbors forcefully taken earnings. @SpeakerPelosi cannot justify her amoral & hedonistic worldview with a Biblical worldview; they conflict.

This is why liberals need to stop trying to quote the bible…
Especially when they’re trying to defend criminals.
