“Jesus was not narcissistic like this guy,” Behar said.
“But when you are the Messiah, it’s not narcissism to say it,” said Haines.

“When you are the Messiah?” Haines questioned.
“Yes,” said Behar.
“I’m gonna move this along,” said Goldberg, “because this is, like, it’s too much for me.”
Commentator Brandon Tatum posted a clip of the exchange, stating, “This is what decades of declining biblical literacy in America looks like: people who feel culturally entitled to opine on religion while knowing surface-level Sunday school tropes at best.”
Daniel Darling, director of the Land Center for Cultural Engagement at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, posted a clip as well and quoted Mark 14: 61-62, where the high priest asks Jesus, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” Jesus replies, “I am.”
