Bill Maher slams evangelicals: Their Trump support proves who they really are (VIDEO)

Bill Maher called out evangelicals for the dangerous hypocrisy they are displaying with their support for everything they preach against, which Donald Trump exemplifies. You can watch the video here.

"Before leaving this election behind we must all thank Donald Trump for the one good thing he did," Bill Maher said. "He exposed evangelicals who are big Trump supporters as the shameless hypocrites they have always been. I don't know if you noticed, but Republicans didn't get to play the Jesus card this time around because it is hard to bring up the ten commandments when your candidate spent his life breaking all of them. Trump's commandments are like the regular commandments with LOL at the end."

Bill Maher then went on to itemize with examples the commandments Trump continuously break. He displayed the women he committed adultery with. He played clips of him cursing and bearing false witness. He used Trump University to illustrate his stealing. He displayed Vladimir Putin as an example of Trump having false idols.

"He is the world's least godly man," Bill Maher said. "Jesus saw the good in whores and lepers, but if he met Donald Trump he would say 'Sorry man, that's a preexisting condition."

Maher said that with four days left until the election, he wanted to celebrate one thing. Because evangelicals chose the most ungodly character to support, they could not inject religion into the campaign.

"But I still think we are owed an explanation from the values voters as to how they could line up behind Trump," Bill Maher said sarcastically. "A man who love to say, 'Nobody loves the Bible like I do.' Who when asked couldn't name a single passage. Even Sarah Palin said 'Hey for f$ck sake, it's not a newspaper.'"

Maher reminded the audience about the fiasco that occurred when Trump tried to name a book of the Bible. Instead of saying second Corinthians he said 'two' Corinthians.

"Trump has nothing in common with Jesus who was from the Middle East," Bill Maher said. "Trump wouldn't even let him into the country. Jesus healed the blind. Trump mocked the handicap. Jesus turned the other cheek. Trump grabbed her pu$$y. Jesus turned water into wine. Trump just whines. The Bible says, 'Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.' Trump says fine. What about my daughter?"

Maher further illustrates the hypocrisy of the evangelicals.

"In the primaries, evangelicals had a whole bouquet of religious nuts to choose from," Maher said. "Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson. Ben Carson who doesn't just walk with Jesus. They shower together. But they went with the foul mouth, thrice married, pu$$y grabber with one exception. I never thought I would hear myself say this. But, let's hear it for the Mormons."

Bill Maher went on and pointed out that evangelicals support Trump 75%/14%. Mormons only give him 19% support. He gave kudos to the Mormons.

"Apparently the Mormons believe you shouldn't vote for a lying infantile scumbag just because he is on your team," Maher said.

While his typically crude self, Bill Maher hit this one out of the park again.

They had their shot to pick a far right religious fundamentalist. Instead they picked an anti-christ.

take the rest of the world down with them. If they can end it all, Jesus will have to come back.

The one and only good thing that Trump running for President brought is how he totally exposed the religious/evangelical right as complete and total frauds and liars!

Those pious hypocrite bastards are basically backing the anti Christ in Trump, his whole life, persona and image is 100% opposed to everything that Jesus Christ ever taught.

Did that stop the religious right from backing him? Oh HELL no! Shit they even have the gall to call him Gods choice and if you don't vote for him you will go to hell!

They are now totally exposed as the dirty gutter pols they really are. The religious show is for the suckers they extract money from every Sunday at the local mega church republican HQ.
