Presidential candidate and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg said during his interview with USA Today that it is hard to look at the actions of President Donald Trump and think he believes in God.
“I’m reluctant to comment on another person’s faith, but I would say it is hard to look at this president’s actions and believe that they’re the actions of somebody who believes in God,” Buttigieg said.
“I just don’t understand how you can be as worshipful of your own self as he is and be prepared to humble yourself before God. I’ve never seen him humble himself before anyone. And the exaltation of yourself, especially a self that’s about wealth and power, could not be more at odds with at least my understanding of the teachings of the Christian faith,” he added.
He also criticized conservatives “saying so much about what Christ said so little about, and so little about what he said so much about,” like how the issue of abortion has become a litmus test.

Too bad his parents didn’t do us a big favor and not reproduce to fight climate change.
Butchering babies in the womb makes you close to God??.In the eyes of liberals,in their “version” of reality,God is okay with butchering babies

Jesus made His point unambiguously clear at Sodom and Gomorrah. He had no need to repeat Himself to the Jews of the day.
Leviticus 18:22
What a funny thing for him to say.
The phonetic pronunciation of the mayor’s name is Buttygig.
Article is satire, yes?
Said the Sodomite headed for hell.
I find it hard to believe that the butt man believes in God.
No Democrat, especially one like Mayor Pete, ought to be lecturing anyone about God. These freaking hypocrite RATS make me sick!
He’ll fit in perfectly, sounds like a complete nut job.
It is hard to look at Buttegieg’s actions and think he is sane.
Sounds like Blasphemy. He condemns others but doesn’t see the ‘plank’ in his eye.
But if you don't like people's actions because they DO believe in God, you force them to bake that cake anyway.
So STFU, Butthole.
In Modern Terms, he is a Bigot.
Most likely? He didn’t “marry” another man (ironically named “Chasten”) for the tax breaks.
I don’t care what Buttedge has to say about anything.
I put Trumps arrogant bombast into the same mix as his sense of humor. It’s part of the schtick that makes his comments memorable and funny. Using that approach, he can make honest comments that suave, reserved politicians would choke on. Rush Limbaugh is the same way and some people never got him either. But some. people have no sense of humor, no ability to play.
