‘By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets,’ Daily Show host says of White House spokeswoman
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was seen without her cross necklace following the mockery of Daily Show host Jon Stewart.
Leavitt appeared for her briefing on Tuesday in a navy blazer, but she had chosen to forego her signature jewelry.
On Monday night, Stewart skewered Leavitt, saying, “By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets. Is that possible? It’s like some sort of weird Pinocchio cross.”
The host also noted that Leavitt is likely to be “the only one” who will be able to leave the administration “unscathed … Because I don’t think that she has any principles in there left to die.”
I grew up with people like this. The cross is purely for virtue signalling. It has no real value to them other than being like a Costco membership card to get access to manipulate people who are easily manipulated by such things.
Near where I live a church put up one of those 50 foot tall aluminum-siding crosses.
There are still hungry and homeless people, but that’s how you choose to spend your money?
If you have to put up a giant symbol to show you’re a church, you’re probably not a very good church. After all, as some guy who I’m totally blanking on his name once said, you will know a tree by the fruits it bears.
Are you 100% certain it’s not a cell phone tower?
These are often just appear as a sheet metal pillar from the outside. If you see a small windowless concrete hut surrounded by a fence somewhere on the property, the church could be leasing to a telecom and hiding the antennas inside their oversized idol. Icing on the cake is that this is often a method the telecoms use to hide their operations from local municipalities so that they can avoid taxes until caught.
I am, yeah. I have to drive past it every day so I saw it during construction and at no point was any equipment installed inside it. It’s tall enough to be seen from the interstate but not tall enough to be a cellular tower. Also there’s no equipment vault nearby either.
