5:01Now PlayingThe wife of former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows says that even though Mark never wanted to go to work for Trump, he had no choice in the matter because "God cornered him." This is a belief that Meadows himself shares, suggesting that God forced Mark Meadows to take on his role with Trump. Meadows has also claimed in the past that God wanted him to be in Congress, even though he had no desire to be there. Farron Cousins openly wonders if God also forced Meadows to get involved in so many scandals.

Mark Meadows, former Republican Congressman, former chief of staff to Donald Trump believes that God forced him to serve as Donald Trump's chief of staff, because Meadows totally didn't wanna do it. And his in-laws kind of thought, Hey, your nuts for doing this, but CR Shaw. And his say that God made me do it. In fact, his wife went as far as to explain it away to her family who did, according to her say he was nuts for doing this. That's the word they used nuts. She said, what choice did we have? God cornered us. That's exact quote, God cornered us. So I guess somewhere in the Meadows world, they were just sitting there all happy. And God came in, backed him into a corner and said by God, well, by me, you are gonna work for Donald Trump. And you're gonna love every minute of it. I am God I'm out.
And so they said, okay, well, let me, you saw that. I was, God, I guess I gotta go do this. I don't want to wanted to be retired, but all right, here I go. Now Meadows in the past has said the same thing about actually serving in Congress as well. He said, look, I didn't wanna do it, but it was, you know, this, this divine intervention of God, he came, he said, listen, you gotta run for Congress. So apparently God in this world, the Meadows have created just absolutely constantly wants to make Mark Meadows do things he doesn't want to do. Right? The trials and tribulations of Mark Meadows, trying to fulfill God's will. Oh, poor pitiful mark. Right? Let me ask you a question here. Mark. Did God make you get involved in all those scandals? Uh, by the way, not just with the Trump administration, but you also had a scandal when you were in office as a Congressman about lying about your education, where you went to school and what degree you received.
Did God tell you to lie to people? Cuz I'm pretty sure list of rules, almost commandments. You could call them where God specifically says you can't lie. Like that is a hell worthy. Trespas so, so I'm curious there, like God made you run for office, made you serve in Congress. Did he also make you lie? And maybe if, if he didn't make lie, maybe your penance was having to go work for Donald Trump. Maybe that was God punishing you like, listen, you messed up how now, now you're gonna suffer even more. Go work for Donald Trump. And then of course meadow gets involved in all kinds of scandals with that, including most recently, uh, the revelation that he was coordinating with the organiz of the stop, the steel rally. So, you know, he's facing some problems with that with the January 6th committee, which he also, by the way yesterday said, Hey, I'm not cooperating anymore.
I was cooperating. I was, you know, doing great with that. And then of course it went public and now I'm not cooperating anymore. Dang it. Yeah. You kind of need to get your story straight here, man. What did God make you do? And what did God not make you do? Right? Which part of your horrible career is God's fault and which is your fault trick question. It's all your fault, mark. See, I hate absolutely despise when people use this, God God told me to do this. God led me here. No it's a freaking cop out is what it is. Okay. You are responsible for your decisions and anybody who pulls that, oh no, God directed me to do this. No, you are trying to shift the blame for the horrible decisions you've made in your life onto God. Take responsibility. Isn't that what the Republican party has been telling the rest of the American public for decades now.
Oh, it's all about personal choice and personal responsibility. And then when they get busted doing something stupid, but it's like, well, Hey God told me to do this. I mean, we see it with Republican politicians. We see it with those right wing evangelical pastors and their megachurches. Every time they get in trouble, like God was testing me and I failed. No you failed. Cuz you're a piece of crap. God didn't make you do anything. You chose the path of a gr and you need to own up to it because if there's one thing we know from the Bible, man, don't off God by lying about him.
