Trump’s favorite pastor throws ‘known womanizer’ Ronald Reagan under the bus to defend president’s infidelities

Appearing on Fox News late Friday night, Rev. Robert Jeffress — one of Donald Trump’s favorite clergymen and staunchest defenders — blew off the president’s ongoing history of having affairs with Playboy playmates and adult film stars by throwing Republican icon Ronald Reagan under the bus as a “known womanizer.”

Speaking with Fox host Ed Henry, noting evangelical support of Trump has not wavered — even in light of evidence that Trump also conducted an affair with adult start Stormy Daniels while married to his current wife, Melania — Jeffress lectured the host that the Christian community is less concerned with sin than with presidential policies.

“This is not an unusual thing. We’ve been here before,” Jeffress told the Fox host. “Back in 1980, evangelicals chose to support a twice-married Hollywood actor who was a known womanizer in Hollywood. His name was Ronald Reagan. They chose to support him over Jimmy Carter, a born-again Baptist Sunday school teacher who had been faithfully married to one woman.”

“And that’s true here, Ed. We are choosing to support (Trump‘s) policies. We knew about his past. We voted for him because of his policies.”

1. I'm thinking sex trafficking

I'm thinking that what Putin has on Trump is sex trafficking. We know that he had a modeling agency in New York in the 1990s. We know that it was a sweat shop. Is it that far of a leap to suspect that he also pimped out some of the young girls that he brought into the US? That he passed some of them around to his rich pals?

4. What this says about you....

Mr. Evangelical Christian, is the problem. You are a hypocrite and a two faced liar, and willing to tolerate and sustain this treasonous loser to "further" your hateful agenda. Love of Jesus Christ and his teachings has zero to do with you and your ilk. You are all devoid of principal and morality. You are to be shunned and shamed..
