The Conservative Political Action Conference is slated to begin this weekend, and early signs suggest that much of it will be devoted to worshiping former President Donald Trump.
As evidenced by a video by Bloomberg News’ William Turton, CPAC will even feature a literal gold statue of the former twice-accused president with a term who will also be a keynote speaker at the event.
Many Twitter users noted that a gold Trump statue appears to violate biblical precepts against idolatry, and they drew comparisons to the golden calf idol that Moses destroyed in the Old Testament.
Check out some reactions below.
Seriously, haven’t these people read the Old Testament? pic.twitter.com/cjGReyGMYv

A gold statue of Trump is as good a summary of the CPAC as it gets. pic.twitter.com/tW0zFobjyh

Worshiping the golden calf was * really bad *, say prophets. (Exodus 32: 8). The worship of the golden donkey seems even worse. # CPAC2021 https://t.co/GhfKuhejuL

I mean, everyone knows that Trump broke a couple of the 10 Commandments and they supported him anyway. So what’s a golden idol among friends? https://t.co/oyzNTbne3V

You really can’t make this shit up.
1. 2 commandments.
You shall have no other gods before me.
You shouldn’t make idols.
According to the Bible, the golden calf was an idol of the Israelites when Moses climbed Mount Sinai. Also known as the sin of the calf. https://t.co/opN43JUrP8

Instead of worshiping a golden calf, the GOP worship a golden crook. https://t.co/YkNqKjCtTA

We always knew that these MAGAts and Evangelicals were false Christian heretics. They eventually broke the golden calf.
