Daniel Davis, the onetime pick to serve as deputy director of national intelligence who was yanked from consideration this week over his anti-Israel views, likened himself to Christ on the cross as he tacitly blamed Jews for detonating his nomination.
"Shortly before His death, Jesus was on trial before Pontius Pilate. All sorts of agitators were accusing Him of many things, some true, others not," Davis, a senior fellow at the isolationist Defense Priorities think tank, wrote Thursday on X, shortly after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard removed him from consideration to be her deputy director of national intelligence for mission integration.
"But Jesus said nothing in his own defense, as recorded in Matthew 27."
"What He suffered, and the unjust things He endured, are orders of magnitude higher than anything to which I may have been subject," Davis continued. "If He can do that under such arduous conditions, then as a follower of Jesus Christ, so too should I, especially under far lesser circumstances. This is all I will have to say on any recent events related to me in the news."
