Can I ask a stupid question? Why does he talk about white evangelicals? He mentions white evangelicals more than once. What does race have to do with being an Evangelical Christian?

Here’s the truth many refuse to face..
ALL LIVES MATTER in the eyes of God.
The Moment you insist on adding a color in front of the phrase, you become a RACIST.

We all look alike to them? Because their inaccurate mental picture of what an evangelical is offends them.
I suspect they're as unwilling and unable to examine their own thinking, politics, lives and behavior as they claim "white evangelicals" are.
Black Evangelical protestants tend to favor Democrats, and thus don't fit the media's stereotype of what "The evangelicals" think and believe, so they are simply ignored.
With Catholics, its the opposite. When they talk about "the Catholics" they ALWAYS mean anyone and everyone who self-identifies as "Catholic", even if that so-called "Catholic" was only baptized Catholic 30 years ago and hasn't been to church in years, so as a result "the Catholics" end up looking much more "liberal" in the media's mind.
If they identified "Catholics" the way they do "evangelicals" (and only counted white, regular-church going Catholics as "the Catholics"), the numbers would be similar and they'd find an overwhelming majority of "The Catholics" are voting Trump.
But that doesn't further their goal so "the Evangelicals" translates to "ONLY white people, and ONLY active church-going believers" whereas "the Catholics" translates to "anyone and everyone who CLAIMS to be Catholic regardless of background, ethnicity, and whether they actually believe in or practice anything the religion teaches")
