another grain of unsavory salt

"If the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men” (Matthew 5.13).

​Today, we simply highlight yet another shameful example of a fine modern-day pharisaical hypocrite posing as a Christian, in this case the variety of Christian formerly known as Mormon.
 
“On Monday evening, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch (R), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also told CNN’s Manu Raju that he was not concerned about Trump being implicated in a felony. ‘The Democrats will do anything to hurt this president,’ he claimed.
 
“When Raju explained the implication had come from a document filed by the Southern District of New York, Hatch doubled down.
 
“‘Okay but I don’t care,’ he said. ‘All I can say is he’s doing a good job as president.’
 
“He added ‘you can make anything a crime under the current laws.’
 
“Hatch’s words contradicted his own past comments. In 1999, just before casting a vote to impeach President Bill Clinton, Hatch criticized the president for lying to the public about his affair with a White House intern.
 
“‘Committing crimes of moral turpitude such as perjury and obstruction of justice go to the heart of qualification for public office,’ Hatch said at the time. ‘…This great nation can tolerate a President who makes mistakes. But it cannot tolerate one who makes a mistake and then breaks the law to cover it up. Any other citizen would be prosecuted for these crimes’” (Ryan Koronowski, “Crimes aren’t Crimes. Trump and his allies are moving the goalpost to legally protect him,” thinkprogress.com).
 
We’ll just pass by the ridiculous notion that Caligula is “doing a good job as President.” It doesn’t matter.
 
Any Christian, Mormon or otherwise, worth their salt, or worthy of the name “salt of the earth,” can discern Caligula for what he is.
 
The man is a criminal.
 
A gangster.
 
An organized crime boss.
 
A Gadianton Robber.
 
An America disgrace.

Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?” (Luke 12.56)
