My problem with that story is that’s the one time Jesus chose violence, vs the bajillion times he said to love your neighbor and turn the other cheek. But I’ve seen tons of posts by right wingers like “we should kill people we disagree with! Jesus was all about violence, did you hear about the time with the whip!?!?” using it as justification for their hate and totally ignoring all of Jesus’s messages.
