Normally, people think of lawyers as fairly responsible, scholarly individuals, but the Trump administration does everything it can to redefine norms of office.
Jenna Ellis, one of President Donald Trump's attorneys, got some attention on Twitter for her fear of "cancel culture."
This lawyer believes Democrats are dead-set on "canceling" everything from the stock market to Christianity.
Rather than encouraging diversity like they claim, Dems and leftists want to cancel everything and everyone they disagree with.

I guess we have to cancel the stock market too now. https://t.co/nQN3JgRFFt pic.twitter.com/LptFIOnsxx

In fact, Ellis seemed especially scared of Democrats on Twitter "canceling" Jesus Christ.
In @BreitbartNews—We have to speak up for truth and for our rights. The only guarantee of our country is freedom.
Every person who cares about freedom, rights, equality, standards, goodness, and truth must show up and vote for President @realDonaldTrump.https://t.co/NYgA4G2bt2

I'm going on record now:
If they try to cancel Christianity, if they try to force me to apologize or recant my Faith, I will not bend, I will not waver, I will not break.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand.
And I'm proud to be an American.

Twitter was quick to assure Ellis that she had nothing to worry about.
Jenna, if there is ever a war on thought, I assure you, you won't be drafted.

"They?"
Get back behind the curtains, drama queen. No one is doing anything to Christianity.

These crisis actors are always looking for some fake “war on something" to validate themselves.

Many Christians online tried to remind Ellis that a bad hashtag should have very little influence on her faith.
it's people like her who turn Christianity into a joke. as a Christian myself, it's obvious that Christianity is not “under attack" and hasn't been. this is just an excuse for her to seem oppressed instead of fighting for those who really are.

Meanwhile, Ellis works for a man whose behavior doesn't seem especially Christian to close observers.
What if they ask you to support a man who said that he grabs women by the crotch? What will you do about that?

If you're an official enabler for a guy who constantly bears false witness, commits adultery, divorces, covets other men's wives, steals from charities, ignores the Golden Rule, and never asked God for forgiveness, you break that "solid Rock" faith everyday, hypocrite.

None of the President's ungodly behavior seems to bother Ellis.
What part of Christianity calls for firing tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protesters using their Constitutional right to protest so someone can walk to a church he doesn't attend to hold up a Bible he doesn't read? pic.twitter.com/MRgguMf7Bq

"As of May 29, his 1,226th day in office, Trump had made 19,127 false or misleading claims, according to the Fact Checker's database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement he has uttered. That's almost 16 claims a day over the course of his presidency." 1/2

Perhaps "canceling" this close connection between religion and the federal government would be in everyone's best interests.
Where's God referenced in the US Constitution?

Sorry. Christianity has been cancelled. Unfortunately you're too late with this post. If you'd done it sooner, you maybe could've saved Christianity. But it's over now. Happy holidays jenna

Ellis forgot the most important thing, however. If any lawyer is trying to avoid being "canceled" on Twitter, the first thing they ought to do is stay away from President Donald Trump.
