‘Washington Examiner’ tweets ’Trump is going to hell' after hack
President Donald Trump is going to hell...per the Washington Examiner.
On Monday morning, the conservative media site tweeted a bold and out-of-character message to its 140,000 followers about Trump, and where the Bible "stands on rich adulterers."
"The key to God's forgiveness is repentance," the now-deleted tweet read. "Trump's entire political career has been about the exact opposite of that. Also this paper is garbage for promoting 'Trump and God.'" The tweet was published at 5:13 a.m., per The Hill.
