Pastor Robert Jeffress hit back at Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez after the Illinois congressman invoked Jesus Christ during a rant about the proposed border wall.
Gutierrez admonished Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen during a hearing Thursday on Capitol Hill, saying that it’s “repugnant” to try to build a border wall with Mexico “at a time in which we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.”
Rev. Jeffress, a Fox News contributor, said Saturday on “Fox & Friends” that “God is not against walls” and that Gutierrez’s comments were “ludicrous for so many reasons.”
Jeffress, who preached the sermon before Trump’s inauguration, added Saturday that he told the president “God is not against walls.”
