Pro-Trump Pastor: We Clearly 'Don't Support Extramarital Affairs', But We Support His Policies

Source: Mediaite

by Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Aug 28th, 2018, 12:31 am

On Monday night, Pastor Robert Jeffress appeared on Fox News and expressed evangelicals’ undying support for President Donald Trump.

Attending a recent White House event with other evangelical leaders, Jeffress told Fox News anchor Shannon Bream that the “headline” from the evening would be “Evangelicals enthusiastically remain supportive of President Trump,” adding that recent headlines involving Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen didn’t affect his support of Trump nor did they for others.

“I know a lot of people are still perplexed- why are Christians so supportive of Donald Trump?” Jeffress said. “Well, it’s really not that hard to figure out when you realize he is the most pro-life, pro-religious liberty, pro-conservative judiciary in history and that includes either Bush or Ronald Reagan. I think that is why evangelicals remain committed to this president and they are not going to turn away from him soon.”

They just want power over the rest of us, that is all they care about. Even their so called pro-life abortion concerns are total lies because they showed their contempt for children by agreeing with drumpfs policies of kidnaping, caging and torturing brown children.

given how they seem to feel that gay people should be locked up if not killed in order to prevent a hurricane or something?

Access to power!

Jeffress like those of his ilk want to create a thecracy based on an abomination called "Christian" conservatism...which translated means they want to piss on the US Constitution!!!

Love the fetus, hate the child (especially if black or brown or white trashy poor).
Love the sinner, not the sin (unless you are a closet case Repub lawmaker or clergy).
Love the greedy church, but not the needy parishioners (except on Election Day).

Like most people, they need money, but they must please the wealthy to get their money. Thus they ignore, wink, wink, the wrongs of the rich while endlessly blabbing about gays and abortion. The hypocrisy becomes more obvious daily.

Greed gallops around the globe, the true four horsemen of the apocalypse. Organized religion fiddles away to the pleasure of its rich masters.

Watching Jeffress and his loathsome batch of fellow evangelicals flush themselves down the hypocritical toilet. Their blowjobbing of trump will deprive them of power and influence for decades to come.

simply because they too, like the republicans, were desperate for a 'win'. Fortunately, the true nature of the vast number of Americans will rise to the top, and take away these abuses of power by rump and the so called evangelicals (true hypocrites in this whole mess).

Feeding the Poor?
Healing the Sick?
Throwing out the Moneychangers?

These FAKE Christians support a monster that does EVERYTHING against what Christ taught.

This is Tiffany Trump.



Donald Trump fathered her in an extramarital affair with Marla Maples, and tried to pressure Miss Maples into aborting her. How many women have succumbed to his pressure and aborted their pregnancies?

THAT is what you are supporting. Anyone who supports Donald Trump is going to burn in hell, and it doesn't matter how many little poems you say to prove what a wonderful person you are.
