Viewers were divided after Good Morning Britain host Adil Ray asked whether or not Jesus would be deported under a new refugee scheme.
Business Minister Greg Hands appeared on Good Morning Britain this morning where he defended Boris Johnson's behaviour regarding 'Partygate'. He said despite the Prime Minister being fined for breaking lockdown rules, he would not be resigning.
Host Adil moved the conversation to the Conservative Party's refugee scheme, which many have called "cruel." It would see asylum seekers arriving in the UK without proper permission being relocated to Rwanda.

Adil said: "Here we are celebrating Easter this weekend, the life and times of Jesus Christ who himself was a refugee. Under this scheme, Priti Patel's and Boris Johnson's government scheme, if he arrived here today would be sent to Rwanda.
"Is that right, would you send Jesus to Rwanda?" Mr Hands said they could debate the question. Adil quickly fired back, saying it was a "simple question" and that the business minister "didn't answer the question."
Viewers sharing their views on Twitter were divided over the question, with some backing Adil and others saying it wasn't appropriate for Easter Monday.
One viewer said: "Not surprised he looks puzzled, what the hell is that for a question? #gmb".
Another said: "What a absolute disaster of an interview #GMB"
However Twitter user Charlotte said: "Adil Ray absolutely brilliant! Not letting Greg Hands off the hook. Are all these politicians inserted with a chip, where they just come out with the same spiel & don’t answer the question asked! Diabolical answers. What is a safe route then for these people? No answer."
Karen Lesley said: "Refreshing and brilliant to listen to Adil Ray saying what all anti-racists, humanitarians and decent people want to say to heartless tories this morning."
Co-host Kate Garraway followed up the question by grilling the business minister on what were the safe routes to the UK for asylum seekers.
