Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump late Wednesday pinned blame for his scriptural gaffe -saying "2 Corinthians" instead of "Second Corinthians" - on evangelical activist Tony Perkins.
"Tony Perkins wrote that out for me. He actually wrote out the 2, he wrote out the number 2 Corinthians," Trump said on "CNN Tonight with Don Lemon." "I took exactly what Tony said, and I said, 'Well, Tony has to know better than anybody.'" The slip-up drew laughs from the crowd at evangelical Liberty University and led to attacks on the billionaire businessman's faith.
But Trump said he has since heard from "a lot of people" who tell him that he was actually correct.
"It's a very small deal, but a lot of people in different sections of the world say 2, and I've had many, many people say to me," he said.
"My mother, as you know, was from Scotland, and they say 2," he added
Talk about a kool aid case, have you looked in the mirror? Nope, just pointing out your hypocrisy. Embrace it - it fits you well.
I’ve also heard preachers say “Corinthians Two, verse...”.
Remember Obama throwing his grandmother and Jeremiah Wright under the bus during his campaign...?
“Typical white” grandmother meet Tony Perkins.
There you go diverting again. Address the issue for a change.
Trump thinks an epistle is an electronic hand gun.
Me either...
LOL.... now THAT'S funny
I knew it had to be someone else’s fault because my Donald has never made a mistake.
Right..
Everyone is wrong, but Trump can never have any fault (even a minor one such as this).
/Gag me.
Yep, a snake oil businessman trying to pass himself off as a conservative.
problem is half the freepers here won’t get that one....
Trump's sign on his desk will say...."YOU MADE A MISTAKE AND YOU ARE AN IDIOT"
I am Presbyterian just like Trump, and believe me, we don't say 2 Corinthians.
It’s a good thing Perkins didn’t use Roman numerals as is sometimes used. We would have had Donald saying “AYE AYE Corinthians.”
... the guys'a BUSINESSMAN for pete's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See...There are two kinds of businessmen. There are ethical ones who take their lead from the bible and conduct honest business deals anchored in mutual benefit, then there are those who will say and do ANYTHING to seal the deal (including blame one's mother and Tony Perkins for their lack of knowledge of the bible)
... Two Corinthians walk into a bar.......
LMAO
This has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. Trump made a mistake. We all do. But rather than admitting he didn’t know, instead he has to blame someone else. This is how an insecure child behaves, not an adult, and certainly not a great leader.
Amen.
I’m still working on Two Genesis and Three Revelation. I’ll get to Two Corinthians eventually.
Agree.
I am not interested in having another godless narcissist as President.
One is enough.
Trump is unpredictable because he has no solid moral foundation.
With him it’s all “really big”, “the best”, and “very very good.” All of it starts with what he’s accomplished. He is the center of his world view. That’s dangerous.
Cruz is the best choice and he’s a great choice.
That’s just true.
