I'm not familiar at all with this guy, but it's horrifying how much the right-wing has co-opted Christianity as its own and corrupted and perverted it to support practically everything that biblical Jesus emphatically stands against according to Jesus' actual teachings. "Republican Jesus" is a false god. They are also heavily influenced by the false teachings of the Prosperity movement that has deceived and poisoned the minds of many Christians today.
