President Trump scolded the “far left” Saturday as an existential threat to America and accused House Democrats of hating the country as he rallied evangelical supporters to stick by him amid a Democratic impeachment bid.

He also defended his approach to the worsening crisis in northern Syria, saying the U.S. shouldn’t be “guarding a border between Turkey and Syria when we can’t guard our own borders at home.”

“I don’t think so,” a defiant Mr. Trump told the Values Voter Summit, a coalition of evangelicals who adore his policies but have questioned his approach to the Turkish incursion.

Mr. Trump said the U.S. routed the Islamic State, so “we have to go home, we did our job.”

Much of Mr. Trump’s speech focused on his accomplishments for Christian conservatives and his long list of grievances with Democrats and the “far left.” He said liberals are using the courts to rewrite laws and pass the agenda “they can’t pass at the ballot box.”

“Together we will stand up to the socialists,” Mr. Trump told the gathering in northwest Washington. “Frankly, these people are crazy.”

The president cast himself as the main bulwark against progressives, saying they won’t expand abortion rights or allow the IRS to infringe on houses of worship on his watch. He touted his Israel policy and pointed to the huge slate of conservative judges he’s put on the bench, likely reshaping the courts for decades to come.

Mr. Trump is courting Christian conservatives who were critical to his 2016 victory and will be pivotal in 2020, as he faces some of the toughest challenges of his presidency.
