Pastor Robert Jeffress said on Monday night that evangelical supporters of President Trump dont support his alleged extramarital affairs but do support his excellent policies.
I know a lot of people are still perplexed- why are Christians so supportive of Donald Trump? Jeffress said during an appearance on Fox News. Well, its really not that hard to figure out when you realize he is the most pro-life, pro-religious liberty, pro-conservative judiciary in history and that includes either Bush or Ronald Reagan.
The pro-Trump pastor went on to say that is why he believes so many evangelicals remain committed to the president a week after his longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to eight counts of bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance violations relating to payments he arranged for women who alleged to have had affairs with Trump in the months leading up to the election.
We have to understand these are still allegations against the president, so Im not going to judge the president on these things. But even if they were true, some of these allegations, I mean, obviously, we dont support extramarital affairs, we dont support hush money payments, but what we do support are these presidents excellent policies, Jeffress said.
And dont be mistaking what is going on here. Those who hate President Trump, those on the left know that if they can dislodge his evangelical supporters from him, they have a shot at overtaking the White House, Jeffress continued. I think the left is trying to shame people like myself continuously for supporting this great president. Its not going to work. Were not going to turn away from him.
Shortly after Cohen pleaded guilty last week, Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was also convicted on eight counts of bank and tax fraud charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller.
Trump has since accused Cohen of making up stories to "get a 'deal'" and said in a tweet that he has "such respect" for Manafort because he did not "break" like Cohen by providing prosecutors with damaging information.
The White House also contended last week that Trump "did nothing wrong" in his dealings with Cohen and said there "are no charges against him."
Does that also apply to Bill Clinton? Hillary Clinton? Barack 0bama?
Whats that old saying about sin and casting stones, Rev?

Please get back to me when you have a verified story about President Trump. I’m sure everything you’re talking about is prior to him becoming president. Oh I was so tempted to sucker you into a bet. Learn to read much more carefully before replying to posts.
The road to heaven is paved for both sinners and saints.
President Trump is not a perfect person and neither am I. But I think Trump is “practically perfect in every way” as POTUS.
OK ... so in your book, a politician’s character is of no importance.
I don’t agree.
He was not my first choice in the 2016 primary.
He was and is infinitely better than Hildebeeste.
He was not my first choice in the 2016 primary.
He was and is infinitely better than almost every President in the last 150 years, with maybe 3-4 exceptions...
Trump waited till Graham's birthday party to get saved?
He (Trump) seems like a person who would never take such risks.
I was "saved" long ago. Such a simple thing to do. And it costs nothing. I thought Trump was smarter than that. Gotta cover all your bases.
I’ll wait until 2024 to make that judgment.
Yeah ... pretty much. And that’s a damning indictment of our political class and the state of government and political process in this country. By extension, it’s an indictment of We the People ... who, collectively, have been voting for the rotten sonsabitches we have in our government.
You never know when the Holy Spirit will convict a person. I, too, was saved long ago when I was eight. But my dad, uncles, cousins, etc., all were preachers so I knew. Believe it or not, some people — even in America — never have heard “the way”.
