In an attempt to prevent the rubes (aka christian conserves) from hearing about his Obstruction, the atheist will attempt to revise his "2 Corinthians walked into a bar" routine.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has scheduled a speech addressing religious conservatives around the same time that former FBI director James Comey is expected to testify before Congress.

The Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” conference announced Tuesday that the president had agreed to address the annual gathering Thursday.

Faith and Freedom spokesman Lance Lemmonds says the president is expected to speak at 12:30 p.m. EDT.

Comey is scheduled to testify Thursday before the Senate intelligence committee beginning at 10 a.m. that day.

His appearance will mark Comey’s first public comments since he was abruptly fired by the president last month.

Other speakers expected to address the Faith and Freedom event are Vice President Mike Pence, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

If he is indeed an atheist it's about the only thing he's philosophically correct about. Goodheart Jun 2017 #8

If they go to those remarks at all.
Do you think that the networks will actually switch from Comey's testimony to some blithering idiot who doesn't even believe what he saying and 99% of the time lies anyway and they damn well know that it's a distraction. They'll show it but don't expect to see it at the same time it's live.

I suggested to the bar that they feature Dump's live tweets on one of the screens.
