Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) took a shot at former President Donald Trump on Tuesday after the suspected Republican nominee announced he would be selling special $60 Bibles.
“Happy Holy Week, Donald. Instead of selling Bibles, you should probably buy one,” Cheney wrote in a post on X.
The post included a screenshot of Trump’s Bible pitch, which he posted on his social media site Truth Social on Tuesday afternoon.
“And read it, including Exodus 20:14,” Cheney continued.
The verse Cheney cited is one of the Ten Commandments, which says, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
The new Bible, which is called “God Bless the U.S.A.” Bibles are being sold by Trump in partnership with Lee Greenwood, who sings the iconic pro-America song.
The Bibles will feature the King James translation and the “handwritten chorus” of Greenwood’s song, the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance, the website says.
The sale comes days before Good Friday and Easter and is being seen as a way for Trump to raise funds as he faces numerous legal troubles.
However, the former president claimed that it was his “favorite book” and that he was trying to bring the religion back to the country.
“Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country. And I truly believe that we need to bring them back and have to bring them back fast,” Trump said. “I think it’s one of the biggest problems we have. That’s why our country is going haywire. We’ve lost religion in our country.”
Trump has not yet responded to Cheney’s comments.
