This morning Marco Rubio hammered Raphael Warnock, who is in a run-off election against Kelly Loeffler, for saying in a sermon that “you cannot serve God and the military”:
“Not shocked #Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Raphael Warnock said “You cannot serve God and the military” at the same time. These & even crazier things is what the radicals who control the Democratic party’s activist & small dollar donor base believe.”

He’s not wrong. The radical left wants to completely defund the military and spend that money on their big ticket socialist items like the Green New Deal and Medicare For All.
But this evening, Ilhan Omar decided to shame Marco and defend her radical leftist colleague by quoting the Bible:
““No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and dmoney.”
The lies and smears of the GOP have no boundaries, but this is a disgrace and shameful.”
😳 Mathews 6:24

Nowhere in that verse or even the broader context of that verse does Jesus mention the ‘military’ or anything akin to it. So what Omar quotes here as a defense of what Warnock said, with respect to the military, doesn’t apply at all. Jesus is talking about being 100% devoted to God and saying that can’t happen if you are also devoted to earthly ambitions like wealth and power. Yes, it’s a radical proposition from Jesus, but it has nothing to do with having a military.
Also, if Warnock and Omar are so opposed to America having a military, then why don’t they tell that to the families of six million Jews who suffered and died under a brutal dictator named Adolf Hitler, AND all the families of the greatest generation who put their lives on the line to stop Hitler’s plague upon mankind.
These people are as radical as Rubio says they are and then some. Here’s a little response from Twitter to Ilhan’s ridiculous defense of Warnock:

1) It's Matthew 6:24 (Not Mathews).
2) Taking one verse from a chapter and not applying the context is not how one learns Biblical truths.
3) Read more than one verse. You'll learn a lot that way. https://t.co/7acbXoTxzU
