A man who claims he delivered a package of horse manure to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's home to protest the GOP's tax bill has compared his actions to those of Jesus.
“In the long run, if we don’t do stuff like this, what are we going to have left?” Robby Strong told southern California public radio station KPCC.
“What I did, I would like to compare to what Jesus did when he went into the temple and overturned the tables of the money-changers, who were exploiting the people financially in the name of religion."
He added: “I feel like that’s what the GOP has done to the American people.”
Reports published Sunday said a package addressed to Mnuchin's home in Los Angeles contained horse manure.
Authorities, including the Secret Service and a Los Angeles bomb squad, responded and police discovered the package contained horse manure after unwrapping it.
Strong posted a picture to Facebook of the card he says it included, in which he wrote: “We’re returning the ‘gift’ of the Christmas tax bill. It’s bulls‑‑‑. Warmest Wishes, The American People.”
Strong reportedly delivered manure to two homes in Los Angeles he thought belonged to Mnuchin, according to The Washington Post.
In a Facebook comment, he wrote that the package was "pure organic horses‑‑‑, just like everything that administration’s done so far."
"Bomb scares certainly were not my intention, but maybe they should be a little scared, eh," he wrote.
According to the Post, the Secret Service interviewed the main who claimed to have sent the package, but Strong was not arrested.
“It was a gift-wrapped package of poo,” Strong told AL.com. “Is there a law that you can’t drop off a box of poo? Not really.”
Congress passed the GOP's tax plan last week and President Trump signed it into law on Friday.
He thinks he is Jesus? Hope he doesn’t run into some Romans.
His medical license should be revoked.
.... The money changers had lots of these coins which they exchanged at a big profit to themselves...
That’s right. The money changers made money on the discount rate. Foreign currency transactions today work the same way.
So now he’s Jesus. This guy should have his license pulled.
He needs to be arrested and prosecuted for vandalism and threats.
Just like Jesus left manure at Pilate’s door. /s
I think it was Mystic Pizza where a character had someone dump fish ...into his convertible!
I’ve got boxes that need to be reused. I’ve also got a digestively regular dog who make that known in my back yard. I need to get rid of it. I need this guys address! I will pay for it to be overnighted!
Good point.
He forgets that Jesus had some moral clarity.....

What would Mr. Ed do?
