GOP operative slaps Trump with nickname 'Cheeto Jesus'
Donald Trump loves the nicknames.
Lyin’ Ted. Crooked Hillary. Little Marco. Crazy Bernie.
Now veteran Republican operative Rick Wilson has slapped one on Trump that has social media lickin’ its fingers.
Glory be, it’s Cheeto Jesus.
Wilson is a vocal member of the #NeverTrump movement. On Wednesday he unleashed a scathing Twitter tirade against Trump and Republicans who support him that included this line:
8/ This weekend, people were lined up hundreds deep to give blood to the victims of Orlando. Your Cheeto Jesus was praising himself.

Others warned against false idols, remembering the original Cheeto Jesus.

People seemed to have forgotten the 11th Commandment: Thou shalt not call your political opponent names.
Which makes us wonder: WWCJD?
