"Trump is going to hell," the tweet to the Examiner's 140,000 followers begins. "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," it continues before adding, "Also this paper is garbage for promoting 'Trump and God.'"

The tweet was sent at 5:13 a.m. ET. Other standard, unprovocative tweets were later posted by the conservative publication.
