LOL - Eye for an Eye. Who said Trump couldn’t quote the Bible? Fox sounds desperate

Way OUT OF CONTEXT... if he used it right.

Love Your Enemies 38"You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.' 39"But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.… Matthew 5:38

So we shouldn't have fought world war II when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor?

Should we have had no response after the World Trade Center was destroyed?
