(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) In a warning of Biblical proportions, political pundit Benny Johnson took to old school, Old Testament soothsaying, turning a series of vicious lighting strikes on Manhattan into omens of doom for what awaits Soros-bought District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s sham indictment of former President Donald Trump.
“Biblically-sized lightning strikes from the heavens over building where Trump was arraigned— God is not happy with the Trump indictment,” Johnson cracked on Twitter.
The religious overtones echoed sentiments from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who compared the prosecution of Trump to the persecution of Christ.
“Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government,” Greene said during a protest rally this week. “There have been many people throughout history that have been arrested and persecuted by radical corrupt governments, and it’s beginning today in New York City.”
Other political and legal analysts shared that dire assessment of Bragg’s case, in less Biblical terms, although it might have take an act of God to get a host of Trump critics to concede that Bragg’s indictment was full of holes.
“You’ve got to work hard to make President Trump a martyr,” said Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C. “Congratulations to Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, who has managed to do just that.”
Even Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, who twice voted to impeach Trump, was critical of Bragg’s case.
“I believe President Trump’s character and conduct make him unfit for office,” Romney said. “Even so, I believe the New York prosecutor has stretched to reach felony criminal charges in order to fit a political agenda.”
It wasn’t exactly lightning bolts from the sky, but Romney none the less sent a warning that, “The prosecutor’s overreach sets a dangerous precedent for criminalizing political opponents and damages the public’s faith in our justice system.”
Trump, for his part, continued to shower his own lightning bolts on Bragg.
