https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/437737-buttigieg-blasts-hypocrisy-of-evangelicals-for-supporting-trumpPete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., and likely 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, on Sunday criticized what he called "hypocrisy" among evangelical Christians who support President Trump.
Buttigieg, who is a Christian, said during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Trump "acts in a way" that is inconsistent with what he hears in church.
"Its something that really frustrates me because the hypocrisy is unbelievable," he said of evangelical support for Trump. "Here you have somebody who not only acts in a way that is not consistent with anything that I hear in scripture or in church, where its about lifting up the least among us and taking care of strangers, which is another word for immigrants, and making sure that youre focusing your effort on the poor."
"But also personally how youre supposed to conduct yourself," he added, saying that Trump is at odds with a religion that calls for "humbling yourself before others."

Mayor Pete's mere presence in the race is making its mark and I am appreciative.
