...'Moses' should have been DWS.
Or Obama, an MSNBC logo...
No, wait; it should be Trump parting the waters for Hillary.
Funny gif, though. The look on the face of 'Bernie'.

"The Trial of Hillary"
................
Incidentally here's the skinny on St. Joan:
France was at war with Britain over the "succession," basically an interminable dynastic struggle between various Henry's and Henri's with disastrous consequences for France where it was fought. The Duke of Burgundy sided with Britain and France kept losing northern cities including Paris. Joan stepped in at age 19 and reported visitations (visions) that got the French excited and they finally started winning. They let her on the battlefield and she's said to have fought but mainly she made good suggestions and rallied the troops and people.
Until she was captured by the British who accused her of heresy, imprisoned her, tried her, and on May 30, 1431, burned her at the stake, burned her bones, and scattered her ashes. France when it finally gotten rid of Britain and the Pope both investigated the proceedings and declared them a grave miscarriage of justice whereupon Joan became a national heroine and eventually a saint.
The charge used against her was cross-dressing because she wore armor on the battlefield.
