Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (MN) ripped Donald Trump over his Chinese made Bibles at a rally in Michigan on Friday.
Trump began hawking the ‘God Bless the U.S.A. Bibles’ inspired by country music star Lee Greenwood in March.
The Bible includes a King James Version translation, copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Reports emerged this week that the Bibles were printed in Hangzhou, China for just $3 each before being shipped to the US where they’re sold for $60 a piece.
In his speech focusing on American labor and manufacturing, Walz jabbed the former president for outsourcing to China even as he accused the country of stealing American jobs.
“He cut taxes for corporations that during his presidency shipped 200,000 jobs oversea. He awarded $425 billion in federal contracts to companies that were offshoring those jobs,” Walz said. “He gave your tax dollars to companies who sent your jobs abroad. That’s Donald Trump.”
“We just found out his Trump-branded bibles? Yeah, they’re printed in China. This dude even outsourced God to China, just so we know!” Walz added.
“Again, I’m gonna try to be generous here. I don’t blame him. He didn’t notice the ‘Made in China’ sticker because they put it inside, a place he has never looked in the Bible,” he said.
