Did Satanas Trumpus really attack Mitt Romney's faith at the National Prayer Breakfast?

Please tell me he didn't

1. Sounds like he did . . .

2. I can't confirm, but as a recovered Southern Baptist

I can assure you the the evangelical demominations do not consider Mormons to be "Christians" and insist they are all going to hell. It didn't occur to me they would even try to go there with Romney. Wow.

5. They feel that way about Catholics too...

And the old-style Catholics return it. Ah, there's some of that divine love stuff.

[Alliepoo]

6. Hey Scratch!! I'm a recovered southern baptist, too!!

And you’re absolutely correct that southern baptists think Mormons are not Christians and are not going to heaven. Catholics either!!

[Coventina]

3. I'm outraged that there's a National Prayer Breakfast.

Yes, I know there's been one for a long time, but it's still UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

REMARKS

Remarks by President Trump at the 68th Annual National Prayer Breakfast
Issued on: February 6, 2020

Washington Hilton
Washington, D.C.

9:11 A.M. EST

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Well, thank you very much. I’m working very hard for you, I will tell you. (Laughter.) And sometimes you don’t make it easy, and I certainly don’t make it easy on you. (Laughter.) And I will continue that tradition, if I might, this morning. And, Arthur, I don’t know if I agree with you. (Laughter.) But I don’t know if Arthur is going to like what I’m going to say. (Laughter.) But I love listening to you. It’s really great. Thank you very much.

And thank you, congressmen, for the great job you’ve been doing and the relationship and the help. You’re a warrior. Thank you very much. And, Kevin, you’re a warrior. Thank you. The job you’ve done is incredible. It wasn’t supposed to be that way. A lot of extra work. Unnecessary work.

It’s wonderful to be with the thousands of religious believers for the 68th annual National Prayer Breakfast. I’ve been here from the first one, where I had the privilege of being asked. I’ve been with you for a long time before then. And we’ve made tremendous progress. Tremendous progress. You know what we’ve done. I don’t think anybody has done more than all of us together during these last three years. And it’s been my honor.

But this morning, we come together as one nation, blessed to live in freedom and grateful to worship in peace. As everybody knows, my family, our great country, and your President, have been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people. They have done everything possible to destroy us, and by so doing, very badly hurt our nation. They know what they are doing is wrong, but they put themselves far ahead of our great country.

Weeks ago, and again yesterday, courageous Republican politicians and leaders had the wisdom, the fortitude, and strength to do what everyone knows was right. I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say, “I pray for you,” when they know that that’s not so.

So many people have been hurt, and we can’t let that go on. And I’ll be discussing that a little bit later at the White House.
