Marjorie Taylor Greene compares Trump to Jesus at Las Vegas rally

Republican extremist tells crowd The man that I worship is also a convicted felon'

Donald Trump has been compared to Jesus Christ by the far-right Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene at a campaign rally for the former president in Las Vegas, a city more renowned for evoking images of gambling than biblical scenes.

Greene, who makes frequent references to her Christian faith, cited Trump's supposed Christ-like qualities to challenge the Democrats' efforts to capitalise on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's status as a convicted felon following his recent conviction in a case involving hush money paid to an adult film actor and falsified business records in a New York court.
