Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press, South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a likely 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, attacked evangelical Christians that support President Donald Trump by claiming hypocrisy is unbelievable.
Buttigieg said, Its something that frustrates me because the hypocrisy is unbelievable. Here you have somebody that not only acts in a way thats not consistent with anything I hear in scripture or church were it is about lifting up the least among us and taking care of strangers which is another word for immigrants, and making sure that you are focusing your efforts on the poor. Also personally how youre supposed to conduct yourself, not chest pumping look at me-ism but humbling yourself among others. Foot washing is a central image in the New Testament. We see the diametric opposite of that in this presidency.
He added, I think there was a cynical process where he decided to, for example, begin to pretend to be pro-life and govern accordingly. Which was good enough to bring many evangelicals over to his side....

How about the hypocrisy of liberal Christians like Buttigieg supporting babykillers? “Thou shalt not kill” and all that. Just saying...
Better to be thought a fool and remain silent than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I’d a thousand times rather have somebody”pretending” to be pro-life while putting into place policies like Trump’s than somebody “pretending” to be the Second Coming of Jimmy Carter while apologizing for infanticide. Sorry, Mayor Pete, you need to keep washing your feet in South Bend.
It’s unbelievable?
Why does he believe it then?
As a proud “deplorable,” I am so sick and tired of being insulted, especially by perverts like Buttigieg!
As you stated, adultery is a sin; homosexuality is an abomination!!
Finally, I pray that our great Vice-President Mike Pence remains more representative of Hoosiers’ morality than this new piece of utter filth!
They say we are not living up to our "principles" while showing they clearly have no idea what they are while sitting down with people who want to kill them horribly.
What would he be if he couldn’t be a patronizing jackass? This President is the most pro-life president we’ve had since 1975. I know it’s a multi-variable bag, but this is a key point for most evangelicals. There’s no hypocrisy there.
If Rahab the Harlot can make the faith hall of fame in the book of Hebrews, I don’t know why Donald Trump, playboy past and all, can’t foment godliness in America.
The problem here is that Butty is narrow minded and through raging rhetoric, tries to get others to be narrow minded too.
He’s a day late and a dollar short, because I heard all of this stuff during the election, and since then. It’s the kind of stuff the social media leftists put out and, if he expects to move from South Bend to the White House, he needs to be more creative.
I’ll bet he is the kind of person who will attack Christians for supporting Trump — because how can a Christian do that? — but then also attack them on the basis of “separation of church and state” when Christians act on Christian principles on issues such as marriage and abortion.
Who cares about hypocrisy? Were in a war. Just embrace it.
No, an example of unbelievable hypocrisy would be Evangelicals supporting Mayor Butt-darts and failing to share with him the gospel message with gentleness and respect. And the word Butt-darts is used with all due respect to Hizzoner from South Bend over in Indiana.
I hope it will be possible to get through to Mr. Butty. But if not, then to successfully resist him.
Be Fruitful and Multiply does not mean taking up the ass.
He’s preaching to his own choir.
But evangelicals are supposed to support the baby murderering Democrats?
My gawd the libs basically hailed satan at one of their conventions and have the nerve to call ANYONE hypocrites
Many Heathens do not know the story of King David.
Juan williams falls in that category also. . The media has not learned that lesson either!
Every time I see his name it looks like Buttkreig ...
