MAGA: We need to run the country based on the Bible

Leviticus 19:34: The foreigner who resides with you must be to you like a native citizen among you; so you must love him as yourself

MAGA: Not that part

Deut 27:19: "Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner."

MAGA: Or that part

Russell Moore in an interview with NPR:

“It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — “turn the other cheek” — [and] to have someone come up after to say, “Where did you get those liberal talking points?” And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, “I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,” the response would not be, “I apologize.” The response would be, “Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak.” And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”

Dismissing the Sermon on the Mount as "those liberal talking points" shows that US evangelicals now spend more time watching Fox than reading scripture.
