Zing.

The Republican party often claims to be the party of morality and tends to champion traditional Christian values, but many of the policies it seeks to enact - the subjugation of minorities, less access to vital social programs, discrimination against people who don't share their religious or moral views - often go against the teachings of Christianity itself.

Now, a video from Friend Dog Studios is pointing that out.


The video shows "GOP Jesus" teaching his followers, but instead of teachings like "love your neighbor as yourself" and "Let he among us without sin cast the first stone," this Jesus's teachings are a little...well, different:

“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, And behold, now I’m all lazy and entitled. You shouldn’t have done that.”

The video also features GOP Jesus instructing his disciples to get a young girl "to a detention center" and not to bake cakes for certain people. He goes particularly berserk about saying "Merry Christmas" as well.

Twitter users find it refreshing that the sketch is bringing attention to the hypocrisy of many so-called Christian Republican politicians.

Yet the reason so many are laughing is - like a lot of great comedy - somewhat depressing.

Some users are pointing out that the GOP Jesus video is only funny because it rings with so much truth.

Fortunately, the video features the actual bible verses GOP Jesus and the Republican party contradict, pointing out just how far from the "straight and narrow path" the party has strayed despite claiming to fight for people of faith.

It's not the first time people have noticed this contradiction.

It's unlikely that this sketch from the good folks at Friend Dog will shock any Republican lawmakers into a moral epiphany, however it does a lot to point out the hypocrisy to voters.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
