By DAVID BADASH AUGUST 27, 2018 10:31 AM
Monday evening President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump,and Vice President Mike Pence will host a huge event honoring the contributions made by Evangelical Christians. One reporter from a far right wing Christian news organization is comparing it to a state dinner. It is being billed as a dinner "celebrating evangelical leadership."
About 100 Evangelical Christians are expected to attend. Among them, a large number of Cabinet members, and other top Trump administration officials. The White House has not released a list of invited guests, nor any agenda.
"Looking forward to celebrating with President Trump and the First Lady his unprecedented accomplishments in less than two years," Fox News pundit and right wing pastor Robert Jeffress tells David Brody at Pat Robertson's CBN News.
"President Trump is the most pro-life, pro-religious liberty, and pro-conservative judiciary president in history which is why evangelicals continue to support him enthusiastically," Jeffress, a top member of Trump's Evangelical advisory board, added.
The Texas pastor notably has labeled the Mormon faith a "cult." Catholics he says were led astray by "Satan." He also says Islam is an "evil religion." And he has repeatedly attacked LGBT people, calling homosexuality dirty and linking it to disease, pedophilia, alcoholism, depression, and suicide.

(3,167 posts)Just look at Trump in that picture. He looks SO uncomfortable, even worse than the proverbial deer-in-headlights. If he's ever said a real prayer, I'll eat dirt. It is SO unbelievable to me that an amoral, vile, foul-mouthed asshole has become a hero to the religious right. I've known many devout people in my life. Trump is the total antithesis of a Christian, so far away from anything that I was taught growing up. I will never, ever understand how they can defend him. And also, "all that he's done"?? Please. He's done zilch.

Pride goeth before a fall, and when it comes it will be spectacular.

The most strenuous thing he did all day was raise his fork. He must be exhausted.
