Donald Trump Jr. was harshly criticized after he posted a video promoting a “We The People” Bible he claimed defends “Judeo-Christian” values he alleged are under attack.
The Bible "is ideal for the patriots who believe it is time to give America back to God, and features copies of America's founding documents" according to a site affiliated with the Trump Organization.
You can hear what Trump Jr. said in the video below.
\u201cDon Jr. is now selling Bibles, declares \u201cJudeo-Christian value are under attack.\u201d\u201d— PatriotTakes \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@PatriotTakes \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1672415788
Trump Jr. said:
"Guys, with Judeo-American Christian values under attack, there could be no better time then to re-up our commitment to America and to the Christian values that this country was founded on."
"Go check out the 'We the People' Bible, made in America, printed in America, assembled in America."
"You're going to love it and I think the people in your life are probably going to need it too."
Trump Jr.'s video marks his latest move to court the Evangelical base largely loyal to former Republican President Donald Trump, who enjoys the support of the religious community despite his many scandals.
His latest grift prompted many to call him out for what one commenter referred to as "debased hucksterism."
\u201cOh the irony. \n\nThe fact that some Christians dont see the problem here is more affirmation that it\u2019s not the GOP that has failed Christians, it\u2019s the church.\n\nGood Pastors and Priests rise up and call this out.\u201d— Adam Kinzinger #fella (@Adam Kinzinger #fella) 1672707956
\u201cThe Trumps are now literally selling bibles.\n\nThey have now officially sunk to Moses Pray level con men.\u201d— Bill Prady \u269b\ufe0f (@Bill Prady \u269b\ufe0f) 1672709798
\u201cWait until Don Jr. discovers the Bible wasn\u2019t written in America and doesn\u2019t mention America\u2014and that those who take it seriously especially loathe this kind of debased hucksterism.\u201d— Bill Kristol (@Bill Kristol) 1672766333
\u201cGrifting the Holy Book now. A new low even for Jr.\u201d— Luke Coffey (@Luke Coffey) 1672692121
\u201cThe Founders wrote the Constitution, not the Apostles. They added the Bill of Rights, not the Ten Commandments. They supported freedom of religion, not control by religion. We are a democracy, not a theocracy.\u201d— FFRF (@FFRF) 1672762964
\u201cNever mind his depravity and corruption, Don Jr. is now selling Bibles to "defend Judeo-Christian values." Grifters are gonna grift!\u201d— Cesar Cadevilla \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfb\ud83c\uddea \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Cesar Cadevilla \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\uddfb\ud83c\uddea \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1672756302
\u201c$75 for a Trump Team bible. \n\nSurprised it took \u2018em this long.\u201d— HerewardTheWake (@HerewardTheWake) 1672716514
\u201cHow much you want to bet they\u2019ve changed some of the verses in the Bible they\u2019re selling and now Jesus is a Trump?\u201d— Ella Lee - \ud83c\udf3e\ud83e\udeb7 (@Ella Lee - \ud83c\udf3e\ud83e\udeb7) 1672736439
\u201cHey Google, define grift by showing me a video please.\u201d— Honest Yout Pastor - Theobro Extraordinar (@Honest Yout Pastor - Theobro Extraordinar) 1672750728
Trump Jr.'s call to protect "Judeo-Christian values" brings to mind remarks made by his father's former chief strategist, the White nationalist Steve Bannon, who last year demanded people have more "Judeo-Christian" babies so these children could be "trained" in order to "save civilization."
Bannon was widely criticized for pushing "The Great Replacement," a conspiracy theory that states White European populations and their descendants are being demographically and culturally replaced with non-European peoples.
Trump Jr.'s brother, Eric Trump, has made numerous overtures to Evangelical Christians, recently claiming in an interview with self-proclaimed Evangelical Christian "prophet" Julie Green that he and his children recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning.
