'Fox and Friends' Praises Video of Rick Perry Saying Donald Trump Is the 'Chosen One' by God

'Fox and Friends' Praises Video of Rick Perry Saying Donald Trump Is the 'Chosen One' by God
Fox News

That was weird.

After being implicated as one of the key players in President Donald Trump's corrupt dealings with Ukraine, Energy Secretary Rick Perry—who intends to leave his post at the end of the year—went on Fox and Friends to praise his boss.

Things got weird, however, when praise turned to worship.


Watch below.

Perry recounted an interaction with the President in the interview:

“I said, 'Mr. President, I know there are people that say you said you were the chosen one and I said, 'You were.’ I said, 'If you're a believing Christian, you understand God's plan for the people who rule and judge over us on this planet in our government."

After the clip, Fox & Friends weekend host Pete Hegseth continued the idolatry:

"[Christian Trump supporters] hear the attacks from the media about who he is and his background and they dismiss it and say, 'God has used imperfect people forever because we're all imperfect,' but what he's withstood is really unlike any other mortal could understand."

The deification of Trump isn't new. As Perry alluded to, Trump previously referred to himself as the "chosen one," though insisted he was being sarcastic. Fox host Jeanine Pirro called Trump "almost superhuman."

But people on Twitter claimed Trump was nothing but a false prophet.

Perry's comments are an about face from what he said of Trump during the 2015 campaign:

"A man too arrogant, too self-absorbed, to seek God's forgiveness is precisely the type of leader John Adams prayed would never occupy the White House."

White Evangelicals remain among Trump's strongest demographics.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
