White House 'doesn't know' how anti-semitic preacher got picked to do the invocation at ... wait for it ... THE ISRAELI EMBASSY

A White House spokesperson insisted he did not know how an American Christian pastor had been chosen to offer prayers at Monday’s inauguration of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem after the minister was called a bigot for his view of non-Christian religions.

The Rev. Robert Jeffress, leader of a Southern Baptist church near Dallas and a spiritual advisor to Cheeto-Faced Ferret-Wearing Shit Gibbon, delivered the invocation at the ceremony in Jerusalem, attended by an official U.S. delegation featuring Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner.

Jeffress has said Jews and other non-Christians, a group in which he includes Mormons, will go to hell — a belief he reconfirmed Monday.

Mitt Romney, the Republicans’ 2012 nominee for president, a Mormon who is running for a Senate seat in Utah, expressed his dismay via Twitter: “Jeffress says ‘you can’t be saved by being a Jew,’ and ‘Mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell.’ He’s said the same about Islam. Such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the United States Embassy in Jerusalem,” he wrote.

Hell no, this has Trumpism written all over it. Do one thing that pleases the mainstream Republican establishment, but wink at the Neo-Nazi contingent while you're doing it.
