SNL Weekend Update had a great Trump Bible joke that turned 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 with Radio City and one to sell Bibles door to door. Donald Trump teamed up 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 resignation letter. This Bible is basically 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 plenty of them.”
Jost continued: “Many. I actually think he has a lot of Bibles. I’m sure he was sent thousands of Bibles with a note saying, please read this.”
This is the weekly reminder to Republicans that Donald Trump will never be able to surrender or make the 1/6 attack disappear and be forgotten. 1/6 will 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 comedy sketch is about 1/6.
Donald Trump will never be normal and 1/6 will not be forgotten.
