When Jen Hatmaker speaks to stadiums full of Christian women, she regales them with stories about her five children and her garden back in Austin, Tex. — and stays away from politics. But recently she took to Facebook and Instagram to blast Donald J. Trump as a “national disgrace,” and remind her legions of followers that there are other names on the ballot in November.
“Trump has consistently normalized violence, sexual deviance, bigotry and hate speech,” she said in an email interview. “I wouldn’t accept this from my seventh-grade son, much less from a potential leader of the free world.”
In the nearly four decades since Jerry Falwell Sr. founded a group called the Moral Majority, evangelical Christians have been the Republican Party’s most unified and reliable voting bloc in November presidential elections. The leaders of what came to be known as the religious right were kingmakers and household names, like Pat Robertson, James C. Dobson, Ralph Reed.
But this year, Ms. Hatmaker’s outraged post was one small sign of the splintering of the evangelical bloc and a possible portent of the changes ahead. While most of the religious right’s aging old guard has chosen to stand by Mr. Trump, its judgment and authority are being challenged by an increasingly assertive crop of younger leaders, minorities and women such as Ms. Hatmaker.
“Those men have never spoken for me or, frankly, anyone I know,” said Ms. Hatmaker, the author of popular inspirational Christian books. “The fracture within our own Christian family may be irreparable.”

Whoooooooo?
That was my reaction! Who the heck is she. Never even heard her name.
So then this woman prefers Hillary??? For all her moral and ethical flaws, she as a religious Christian woman would prefer Hillary??? Based on moral and ethical criteria??? Really?????
Never heard of the She-pharisee.
Jen should go back to making hats...whoever she is.
Let’s hear what this hypocrite says about the following..and I just pasted in 3 out of dozens...
“Where is the G-damn f***ing flag? I want the G-damn f***ing flag up every f***ing morning at f***ing sunrise.”
(“Inside The White House” by Ronald Kessler, page 244. Hillary yells at staff of the Arkansas Governor’s mansion.)
“You sold out, you mother f***er! You sold out!”
“(Inside: A Public and Private Life” by Joseph Califano, page 213. Hillary screaming at a Democratic lawyer.)
‘F**k off! It’s enough that I have to see you ****-kickers every day, I’m not going to talk to you too!! Just do your G*damn job and keep your mouth shut.’
She appears to be a Hometown Buffet type of Christian. Just pick and choose your belief system.
Barack Obama is far from perfect since he is just a man. Why is he getting so much unnecessary opposition? Why are there so many lies being told about him? Why is he branded as a Muslim even though he is a confessed Christian?
After I take all of these things and more into consideration, I believe Barack Obama is the best choice for President of the United States of America at this time.
It would be great to see Hillary Clinton run for and become President after B.O.! :D
Crazy. This world has “eaten on the insane root”.
Can’t fix stupid. Period.

She’s from Austin Tx.
‘Nuf said.
The NYTimes gives a day off to the Catholic Church and the Jews, and kicks Protestants around today.
Perhaps they have a regular calendar they follow, which believers to defame or insult or misrepresent TODAY? which tomorrow? which the next day?
(of course, they’re pro-Islamic on ALL days...)
Satan is Lord of this world, or at least the NYT
“Trump has consistently normalized violence, sexual deviance, bigotry and hate speech,” she said in an email interview.”
“...the author of popular inspirational Christian books.”
The first statement precludes me from ever reading anything by such an idiot.
Well, then if she is liberal, that overrides all other considerations. Liberalism IS a religion to the most devout liberals. No other faith tradition can compete.
This woman calls herself a "Christian." I get it. As long as her definition of "Christian" is "lying, slandering b!tch who regurgitates Hillary's talking points."
God please wake up the quasi Christians living in our country, even those in higher levels of authority or leadership in the Church, to Your Truth.
If You need to, don’t be gentle about it either.
