As embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh inches towards confirmation, one Fox News host is breaking out the Jesus comparisons.

While speaking about the confirmation process Thursday, The Five co-host Greg Gutfeld said the way Democrats have treated Kavanaugh reminds him a lot of the Bible. Crucifixion, he said, "was an important event because it was designed to establish a wall between justice and mob rule," and "Christ died so that the mob wouldn't survive." Now, he argued, the Democrats have tried to "tear down the wall between justice and mob rule," deciding to "crucify someone once again."
