You know, there was something awfully familiar about last night’s events at the Republican National Convention. Where have I heard that story before … ?
And Christie, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, said unto them, Ye have brought this woman unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined her before you, have found no fault in this woman touching those things whereof ye accuse her: No, nor yet Gowdy: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. I will therefore chastise her, and release her.
And they cried out all at once, saying, Imprison this Clinton, and release unto us Trump: (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for robbery, was to be cast into prison.)
Christie therefore, willing to release Hillary, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify her! Crucify her!
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath she done? I have found no cause of death in her: I will therefore chastise her, and let her go. And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that she might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
And Christie gave sentence that it should be as they required. And he released unto them Trump that for sedition and theft was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Hillary to their will.
