Have you heard that right wing christians nowadays are starting to reject the teachings of Jesus as being "too liberal"?

”“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?’” Moore said.

“When the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ’ ... The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,”

Do you deem this surprising, or do you consider this to be a matter of inevitability considering the current state of right wing politics?
