| Evangelical leaders stand by Trump |
| 2016-10-09 |
| [The Hill] Two prominent evangelical leaders are reiterating their support for Donald Trump after a new audio tape revealed the GOP presidential nominee making lewd comments about women. Family Research Council head Tony Perkins told BuzzFeed News his support for Trump is about conservative policy stances, not personal values. "My personal support for Donald Trump has never been based upon shared values, it is based upon shared concerns about issues such as: justices on the Supreme Court that ignore the constitution, America’s continued vulnerability to Islamic terrorists and the systematic attack on religious liberty that we’ve seen in the last 7 1/2 years," Perkins said. And Faith and Freedom Coalition president Ralph Reed cited abortion, the economy and the Middle East as keys to his continued backing of Trump. "Voters of faith are voting on issues like who will protect unborn life, defend religious freedom, create jobs, and oppose the Iran nuclear deal," said Reed. "Ten-year-old tapes of private conversation with a television talk show host rank very low on their hierarchy of concerns," he added. Low priority is dead on! Our concerns should be about what we've been through for the last eight years and what the next four to eight could potentially bring. Ungentlemanly, lewd and tawdry, yes. Criminal NO! |
