In age of Trump, evangelicals back self-styled top U.S. pimp
Source: Reuters
He styles himself as America's best-known pimp, a strip-club owner who runs multiple brothels and looks set to win a seat as a Republican in the Nevada legislature with the blessing of many conservative Christian voters.
Meet Dennis Hof, whose political rise reflects fundamental changes in electoral norms that have roiled the Republican Party and upended American politics during the era of President Donald Trump.
This really is the Trump movement, Hof, 71, told Reuters in an interview at Moonlite BunnyRanch, his brothel near Carson City in northern Nevada that was featured on the HBO reality television series "Cathouse."
People will set aside for a moment their moral beliefs, their religious beliefs, to get somebody that is honest in office," he said. "Trump is the trailblazer, he is the Christopher Columbus of honest politics." . . .

They support Trump who says he is so perfect that he does not need Christ or his forgiveness.
Like today's evangelical/religious right supporters, Trump is a Political Christian, not a Christian of faith.
Evangelicals/religious right are easily able to spin their beliefs for political expediency.
The Donald who does not have to ask Jesus for forgiveness.
The Donald who ridicules Holy Communion.

Take contributions with the other hand to save the sinners. Parade the fallen as pariahs. Sleep with them. Open more places of business. It's airtight. Some houses of "worship" that are legal and immoral, some houses of worship for sinners to repent. You keep collecting the money!

(18,470 posts)They really do. They were all about the family values for everyone other than themselves. But look the other way when it involves their orange hero or most other Republicans. I never want to hear a reich winger spouting off ever again about family values. They can take their family values and stick them where the sun doesn't shine.

(239 posts)Evil evangelist are working for the antichrist and are misinforming their follows.
Trump studied how to mislead people thru Mien Kauf Hitler studied Neapolitan books
to turn the populaces during that period.
hes the third antichrist
Evangelist take money from the weak and Have them believing that there life will be better thru them
Believing that the Lord wants them to guide them to salvation, but using them and taking there wealth .
Trumps takes money and try to make people believe only they can Save them because they have the best people.
Both have followers and both just take away from Jesus and all humanity
And Most so called Republicans are just OK with this.
