SNL’s Weekend Update had a great joke about Trump’s Bible turning the crucifixion into a 1/6-style attack.

Colin Jost said, “Four presidents visited New York City at the same time on Thursday. Three to do a joint fundraiser at Radio City, and one selling bibles door to door. Donald Trump has partnered with country music star Lee Greenwood to sell a $60 edition of the bible that also includes the Constitution, the lyrics to Greenwood’s God Bless The USA, and I assume God’s letter of resignation. This bible is mostly the same, but Trump’s version ends with Jesus’ disciples storming Jerusalem to overturn the results of the crucifixion.”

Jost continued, “Trump also posted this video urging his followers to buy it.”

Trump said, “All Americans need a bible in their home, and I have many.”

Jost continued, “Many. I actually believe he has many bibles. I’m sure he’s been sent thousands of bibles with a note that says, please read this.”

This is the weekly reminder to Republicans that Donald Trump will never be able to live down or make the 1/6 attack go away and be forgotten. 1/6 is going to follow Trump for the rest of his life. When Donald Trump appears on stage to accept the Republican presidential nomination, many Americans will see the insurrectionist behind the 1/6 attack.

Trump tries to sell Bibles and the sketch comedy is about 1/6.

Donald Trump will never be normal, and 1/6 won’t be forgotten.
