Marco Rubio’s Biblical ‘Abomination’ Tweet Backfires: 'Talking About Trump?'
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) shared a passage about “abomination” from the Bible on his Twitter account Thursday, and many people said it reminded them of President Donald Trump.
There are 6 things the LORD hates,7 are an abomination;
-arrogant eyes
-a lying tongue
-hands that shed innocent blood
-a heart that plots wicked schemes
-feet that are quick to run to evil
-the false witness who utters lies
-the one who sows discord among kindred.
Prov 6:16-19— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) July 31, 2019
Twitter users questioned whether Rubio had “turned” on the president with the post. After all, Rubio’s hometown newspaper The Miami Herald last week criticized him for his “pathetic response” to Trump’s “latest racist outrages.”
That is not only Sacred Scripture, it is a perfect description of @realDonaldTrump

.@marcorubio on “6 things the LORD hates”. Not sure why he would put this out. Is it a cowardly passive-aggressive way of calling out Trump? No “Profile in Courage” here. https://t.co/yDcAZ0blrL

Sounds like you’re saying the lord hates trump and the Republican Party in general.
Because you’ve basically described all that they do.— Mike (@m1k3_f) July 31, 2019
So, you’ll be denouncing your previous support for the President that embodies each of these? https://t.co/rAMx6vltNs

So does this mean you’re coming out against Trump? https://t.co/0R1w86XeMl

Look long and hard in the mirror, Marco. Every time you kick children off Medicaid and food stamps, you're shedding innocent blood.
