Back in June, Jen Hamilton, a nurse with a sizable following on TikTok and Instagram, picked up her Bible and made a video that would quickly go viral.
A few days earlier, Hamilton, who lives in a small town in North Carolina, had posted a video asking her followers about resources she could give to people in her life who were beginning to deconstruct their loyalty to the MAGA movement.
There were some helpful tips, but Hamilton noticed one reply in particular: “Whoa,” it said. “Be careful now. I am happily MAGA and I love Jesus. We are exhausted from liberal nonsense.”
Hamilton didn’t want to argue. Instead, she grabbed her Bible and attempted to “hold up the character of Jesus, his actual words, as a mirror” to some of the more ardent supporters of President Donald Trump.
“Basically, I sat down at my kitchen table and began to read from Matthew 25 while overlaying MAGA policies that directly oppose the character and nature of Jesus’ teachings,” she told HuffPost.
