The man that I worship is also a convicted felon.

On the day of Trump&#8217;s New York arrest in April of last year, <a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1643270948714426370?s=20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Greene told Right Side Broadcasting Network</a>, &#8220;Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today. Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. Jesus &mdash; Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government.&#8221;<br>  She continued, &#8220;There have been many people throughout history that have been arrested and persecuted by radical, corrupt governments, and it&#8217;s beginning today in New York City. I just can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s happening, but I&#8217;ll always support him. He&#8217;s done nothing wrong.&#8221;     <div class="admz" id="adm-inline-article-ad-1">                     <div class="adma boomerang" data-device="Desktop" data-width="300">                  <div style="min-width:50px;min-height:75px;"   class="pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text"   data-priority="10" >    <div id="gpt-dsk-tab-article-inbody-uid0"       class="adw-300 adh-250" data-is-adhesion-ad="">         <script type="application/javascript">
