Good for Alan.
Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe, said Ritchson, who himself identifies as a follower of Jesus. It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.
Trump is a rapist and a con man, he went on, And yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like hes their poster child and its unreal. I dont understand it.
Ritchsons comments largely flew under the radar for right-wingers, until Trump Cabinet alum Sebastian Gorka addressed the interview during a segment on his radio show America First last week.

(2,899 posts)I've read ten or so of Lee Child's 'Reacher' books, but after attempting to watch the TV series it just didn't work for me. Number one, my 'vision' of Jack Reacher was far different than the one portrayed by Alan Ritchson.
But good for him taking on the RW Xtians. Perhaps JD or Mike or Hogsmith or some other reich-wing freak would like to challenge him to a no-holds-barred competition in the ring.

Ritchson matches Lee's description of Reacher far better than Tom Cruise. I just could never get around a little squirt likc Cruise playing 6'5", muscular Jack Reacher.......
