I agree that Christians are not to seek vengeance, for that belongs to God alone.

However, voting is also about consequences and representation. If voters believe that you do not represent them adequately based on your performance, then they are free to cast their vote for someone who will represent them. That isn’t necessarily revenge, but acting according to conscience.

Backdoor Pete is trying so hard to look masculine.

It's like he's forgotten the photos of him breastfeeding his adopted baby dont exist.

That statement explains exactly why he should not be a Senator. It flies right over his head that the Dems opened the Border and offered massive subsidies to ALL who came. Thanks to Christians like him who “strain at a gnat and swallow a camel”.

Dude should be a preacher instead of a politician if he wants to avoid blood on his hands. Or a Democrat at the least if he has embraced Transnational Progressivism. Be educated and be honest if you want to be a political leader.

This is the correct answer.

Says he's not bitter, but his response is full of bitterness.

Sounds like Indiana made a good choice.

Our Founding Fathers never intended for any political office to be a permanent position.

They believed that government’s business was to be taken care of in couple months each year then go back and take care of the farm.

Now folks want it to be a full time career and some believe that they own the position and in the extreme some believe that they are faux royalty.

Make no mistake it’s not revenge they’re after. It’s a reckoning.

He's a leader in the United Methodist Church, which also isn't full of Christian values.

Now he has more time to focus on their issues.

While he is outwardly angry on video at his constituents for not sticking with the guy who thinks he should be telling the people how to think instead of the other way around.

Betrayal is not a Christian value too.

Also, why do left leaning individuals think that anyone who thinks differently than them is a Christian?

I could not figure out the date of that video. What was the context of it?
