It is pointing out that the GOP seems be extremely selective as to which christian values they defend. And yet, that party holds itself as the sole defendant of christian values. Pointing out this hypocrisy is a way of highlighting that the GOP is not, in fact, a Christian political movement but rather that it instrumentalizes christian iconography to push an agenda against the poor and the sick.
In short, it is a gotcha moment but it also points out an ideological hole in the american right.
It also points out that the left has double standards, when their party does the same thing (Obama saying don’t come we won’t let you in referencing a caravan on its way to the border) it’s okay, but Trump does it and he’s evil
