Christian Evangelical Pastors: Trump Putting Babies in Internment Camps is God's Will - Or Fake News
During a report on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Ruhle noted that “for the most part” evangelicals “stand with the president because they believe his ideology supports their overall values.”
“Blind faith is how you have to trust the Lord,” pastor Bill Sutton of Trinity Baptist in McAllen, Texas told Ruhle.
“But the Lord and elected officials are two different things,” Ruhle observed.
“But they are ministers of God for the righteous,” the pastor replied. “I don’t believe any person is in any office that God has not allowed it to be there.”

Ruhle later told MSNBC’s Willie Geist that she brought up Trump’s history of immorality with one of the pastors.
“And he stopped me and said, 'But in the end, God wanted him to be president and it’s God’s will and we have to give the president a pass,'” she revealed. “And he felt like many others — you don’t criticize God, you shouldn’t criticize our leaders. So for someone like me, sitting across [from the pastor], I was shocked to hear that.”

These hypocritical wankers are something else. Using their logic Obama being President was also Gods will, right? Never saw them give him a pass on ANYTHING.
Surely they must realise we see them for what they are - right wing racist arseholes

the devil won this one.....
Truth be told, that's who have guided these ameriKKKan religious leaders since the genocide of the First-americans by KKKristian wypipo. They showed me a thing or two when I tried to be a 'good christian'. That was 30 years+ in my past and the ameriKKKan christian HAS NOT changed. Just as stupid, racist and blind as in my day.
