'Paula White sparks MAGA backlash after comparing Trump to Jesus'

"Paula White, a spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, continues to be a source of division within the MAGA movement."

"The controversial preacher of the so-called prosperity gospel has garnered side-eyes and allegations of heresy from some right-wing Christians ever since she was tapped to lead the White House Faith Office."

"White is facing rebuke, yet again, from liberals and conservatives alike after comparing Trump to Jesus during an event the president hosted with faith leaders."

“ 'You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused — it’s a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us,' she said, adding: 'But it didn’t end there for him, and it didn’t end there for you. … And sir, because of his resurrection, you rose up. Because he was victorious, you were victorious.' "

From polls to comments here and there. I sense Reagan-Bush-W Republicans looking around and seeing that they don’t have to be silent in fear of MAGA anymore. Just picking that up.
