Top Evangelicals Stand By Trump Despite His Vulgar Comments About Sleeping With Married Woma

Hypocrites

Ralph Reed and Tony Perkins say they don’t care about Trump’s latest controversy.

Many social conservatives would find remarks like these appalling and disqualifying for a political candidate. Nevertheless, some of Trump’s prominent evangelical supporters are standing by him.

“I’ve listened to the tape, my view is that people of faith are voting on issues like who will protect unborn life, defend religious freedom, create jobs, and oppose the Iran nuclear deal,” Ralph Reed, the chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition and a member of Trump’s religious advisory board, said in a statement. “I think a 10-year-old tape of a private conversation with a TV talk show host ranks pretty low on their hierarchy of concerns.”

Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, another Trump supporter, told BuzzFeed he isn’t concerned with sharing “values” with the GOP nominee.

Yet if Trump were a democratic candidate they would demand resignation and withdraw any support。 Church people are phony。

In my experience, they are vulgar and hate women. The "boys" I have known who are very involved with the church think of women as property.

They are partisan hacks who care more about advancing their personal power than their alledged values. Hypocrits, all.

Anybody surprised?

They are just playing a religious scam/game to sucker the rubes. SOP for republicans.

Trump could grab some pu**y of the steps of the capitol building live on Fox news and they would be good with it.
