“Trump is going to hell,” the post proclaimed. “Anyone who ever read the bible can tell you where it stands on rich adulterers. The key to God’s forgiveness is repentance. Trump’s entire political career has been about the exact opposite of that. Also this paper is garbage for promoting ‘Trump and God.’”

However, something of that magnitude, coming from a national news organization was sure to incite the internet, regardless of whether it was a hack, social media screw up, or Freudian slip.
