You just can't make this stuff up. President Trump and his supporters have been targeted non stop by progressives and the mainstream media since he assumed office, but this may take the cake. Last week, a group of religious leaders were invited to the Oval Office to meet with the president. They took the opportunity, as religious leaders do, to pray for our commander in chief.
Johnnie Moore, founder and CEO of The Kairos Company, a public relations firm that works with several ministries, captured the moment.
Such an honor to pray within the Oval Office for @POTUS & @VP . pic.twitter.com/JrDOSJyFeN— Johnnie Moore ? (@JohnnieM) July 12, 2017
The photo was roundly criticized.
At the forefront of the firestorm was North Carolina NAACP Chair Rev. William Barber II. In an interview with MSNBC's Joy-Ann Reid, Barber accused the evangelical leaders of engaging in "theological malpractice."
“It is a form of theological malpractice that borders on heresy,” he said. “When you can p-r-a-y for a president and others while they are p-r-e-y preying on the most vulnerable, you are violating the sacred principles of religion."
He used the Republican handling of health care as an example.
The “extremist Trump Republican agenda” takes health care from the poor and transfers it to the wealthy, he argued.
We haven’t seen that transfer of wealth “since the days of slavery,” he said, adding that the GOP health care legislation will kill thousands of people.
Reid just nodded in agreement.
Despite Barber's outrage, the fact remains that a significant amount of evangelical voters supported Trump in last year's general election.
Let them pray.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Jesus prayed with prostitutes and tax collectors. He came to save the sinners who acknowledged Him not the self-righteous.
The love the title "Reverend" and they abuse it for illegal monetary gain, their own pride, and as a vehicle to launch racial hate.
The Bible says that people such as these will be punished severely in Hell.
A pig who belongs to a pig organization like NAACP, who only identifies with people because of their color, has no place calling anyone names.
Satan is in his eyes.
so now they pretend to be masters of the cosmic master..what a bunch of idiots
No projection in that statement. Arrogant SOB.
There, fixed it
If we do not pray the the good Lord in support of Saint Obama,then we by default pray for the Anti-Christ, and must be excommunicated from the realms of Christianity.
Soon we will have a Star Chamber and a Grand USA inquisition operated by that Torquemada of America,Reverand Aluwishius Sharpton.
All of you Republican GOP witches out there? Be prepared to be burned at the stake.How dare you support President Trump and the GOP! They will know you by your T-shirts!
Bring it Barber, you crossed eyed, supercilious, hate mongering idiot.
Demonstrating for the unpteenth time the NCCAP is nothing more or less than a plantation of the Democrat party.
Where were they when Bill Clinton named Jesse Jackson as his "spiritual advisor" after the Monica Lewinsky scandal? Talk about preying on the most vulnerable...

Dhimmicrat talking points are not scripture.
Yep, charlatans all
Time to turn over all their tables again
Rev. William Barber II is a pastor like I’m the Pope.
I love it when the left lectures Christians as to what Jesus would do.
This fat ass heathen lives right down the road from me. What a loser. He is not a pastor. Not even a Christian.
In 2016, he delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention in support of 'Hillary Clinton'.
On May 30, 2017, Barber was arrested after refusing to leave the North Carolina state Legislative building during a protest over Health Care legislation. The following month, a state magistrate banned Barber and the other protesters from entering the Legislative building.
In May 2017 Barber announced he would step down from the state NAACP presidency to lead "a new 'Poor People's Campaign"....Poverty Pimp.....$$$$$$$.
Theological malpractice. What a startling concept. Who is to say whether theology is being practiced badly, or not?
There are certain religions, which for the purposes of this discussion shall not be identified, that do not believe in grace, or redemption, or mercy. But for the most part, the more ethical religions do practice all these traits, and do not condemn out of hand, what others may consider to be reprobates or failed human beings.
There are those whose outrage at the practice of forgiveness and the acceptance of contrite pledges rings most hollow. They are neither sincere, nor for the most part, very deep thinkers. Are they wrong? Perhaps not, but they are wasteful of their righteous indignation, firing at the wrong targets.
This guy has obviously not read a lot of Jesus.
I don’t believe it’s possible to make this dumb a statement and also claim to be a bible reader.
