Riley Gaines addresses spat with MAGA over AI Jesus post, says 'humility' would serve Trump

Gaines said she'd received "so much pushback" from the MAGA base for her opinion.

"Multiple things, really, can be true here. No. 1, I do believe humility would serve President Trump, No. 2, God shall not be mocked, and blasphemy is not something to take lightly, and three, I don't regret my vote at all," Gaines said on her show. "But this online base, the discourse that exists there, it makes you feel like you're the crazy person for saying those things."

Gaines was among the conservative voices on Monday who objected to an image of Trump in robes healing a sick man, surrounded by followers and patriotic imagery.

Americans on both sides of the aisle, including many Trump supporters, criticized the image as inappropriate and even blasphemous.

Trump was asked Monday about the image of himself, which he later deleted.

"It's supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better," Trump continued. "And I do make people better." 

Later in the day, a reporter asked Trump if he deleted the image because of criticism from Gaines and other supporters. 

"I didn't listen to Riley Gaines. I'm not a big fan of Riley, actually," Trump said.

Gaines also asked guest and Green Beret veteran Nick Freitas about the situation on Tuesday.

"Anybody that's depicting themselves in a picture where they're obviously making some sort of comparison between themselves and Christ, it is not a good idea, right?" he said. "Christ is someone to be venerated."

"I love the President and I'm so grateful he's in the Oval Office. Of course, I'll continue to support him and the America First agenda," Gaines wrote. "At the end of the day, I do nothing for the approval of man. Our purpose on this earth is to glorify [God] in all we do."
