Much of the story of the 2020 election has centered on the

created by a president and his political base that rejects democracy’s most basic premises. I would argue, however, that many white evangelicals’ perversion of Christianity in the name of Trumpism is equally troubling., a senior legal advisor for the Trump campaign and self-described evangelical, who went from a 2015 Facebook post linking Trump to the anti-Christ warnings described in 2 Timothy to describing him as “a sincere Christian” shortly after being hired by his team.

Whatever you think about the policies of the late John McCain or Mitt Romney, they never used their faith as a prop, which is a stark contrast to Trump’s cynical exploitation of the faith of others. In his book “The Art of the Deal,” Trump wrote, “I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts.

LZGranderson Your asking people who's ancestors lynched African Americans, massacred Native Americans and disenfranchised many while hiding behind the word of God and Jesus teachings to justify their actions and hatred of others.

LZGranderson How many white evangelicals were interviewed and cited in this piece?

LZGranderson They forgive whoever they want to forgive

LZGranderson 👆😂🤣🤡🤡🤡.

LZGranderson They use Christ as their rationalization for doing mean and odious shit

LZGranderson Evangelicals will sacrifice every moral principle to ensure unwanted babies, some with Downs syndrome, some emanating from incest or rape, are born into a world where they must fend for themselves at a very early age.

LZGranderson Great piece LZ. I was just discussing that with my wife the other day.

LZGranderson 🤔 DCTalk EmptyThePews ?

LZGranderson Are you also curious how a “practicing Catholic” supports abortion up to and sometimes after point of birth?

LZGranderson You’ve got 7 weeks to completely overhaul your primary content strategy of the past four years. I’d start sooner rather than later.

LZGranderson Wait, so your saying evangelicals reconcile fallacies...EVER?

LZGranderson

LZGranderson Evangelicals have been lead astray by their preachers who don't practice what they preach. They needed a war to give a purpose to their flocks. So they declared war on abortion and on 'ungodly blacks'. The devil saw great opportunity and jumped in, and preachers embraced him

LZGranderson Me too.

LZGranderson what a stupid column

LZGranderson They don’t care. It’s a cult.

LZGranderson The Christianity of 'evangelical Christians' is one of self-convenience. No argument can reconcile supporting a soul as unrepentant as Trump.

LZGranderson Are they suppose to worship the communist pedophile? Would that make you happy?

LZGranderson The reconcile it the same way those southern white men did after lynching on Saturday and churching on Sunday.

LZGranderson I would like to explain it to you but somehow don't think you deserve my time or effort.I'm white and a Christian,female-if that helps any!I think you are being rather ridiculous .Who cares?

LZGranderson You mean like Biden, abortion, and Catholicism?

LZGranderson Religious beliefs are based on blind faith. Logic doesn’t enter the equation.

LZGranderson Because they are charlatans. ileftbecuase

LZGranderson I mean.. as oppose to what?!

LZGranderson If I wanted to read this article, I’d just read everything written by David French over the past four years, and then I’d stick my head in the oven.

LZGranderson pretty simple they aren’t actually christians and therefore don’t have to actually reconcile any of their thoughts or actions with a higher moral code. but they still judge others on the code they claim to follow but don’t. hypocrites of the highest order

LZGranderson 👇🏾

LZGranderson How about screwing porn stars while married?

LZGranderson When I want to know what's really going on with white religious people...I go to LZ Granderson.

LZGranderson We are seeing the rise of False Christians. Those that support evil and those that do evil like Trump.

LZGranderson They don’t.

LZGranderson This is where we wonder how they can be so blind in 2020? The GOP should just go away, think a bit, and come back caring for America and Americans. =
