Pence honors synagogue victims with rabbi praying to "Jesus the Messiah"
​

At a Michigan campaign stop Monday, Vice President Mike Pence honored victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue mass shooting in a prayer with a rabbi who referenced "Jesus the Messiah." The vice president called for Jacobs to come to the stage, saying, "I'm privileged to be joined today by a leader in the Jewish Community here in Michigan who's kind enough to join us today. I thought it might be appropriate if Rabbi Loren Jacobs would come out from Shema Yisrael Synagogue and offer a word of prayer for the fallen, for their families, and for our nation."

Jacobs, of Messianic congregation Shema Yisrael, offered prayers for the victims of the synagogue massacre. Messianic Jews follow Jewish law but believe that Jesus is the Messiah. The major denominations of Judaism reject Messianic Judaism as a form of Judaism, and Jacobs' participation was condemned by Jews on social media.

COMMENT:-

Let's just say that the "optics" of a "Fundamentalist Christian" using a "Christian Jew" in this situation don't quite rise in quality to the level of "suck".

Also of interest is "Local, national officials decline to appear with Trump in Pittsburgh".

wow ... gotta give Pence credit ... he's not letting anything shake him from his evangelical agenda.



The mourning community doesn't want him in Pittsburgh, so use a whistle stop in Michigan to rub salt in their wounds.
 
Um... never mind, this is all theatrics and the mourning community does not appear all that interested in Trump / Pence.

I thought it was neat that the prayer by Jacobs for the victims was followed by a prayer for GOP electoral victories. Seems appropriate....:roll:

No surprise, really. Everyone in the Trump admin is a tone-deaf whore.
