Robert Jeffress: Christians Who Don't Back Trump Are Morons, Like Christians in Nazi Germany

Robert Jeffress made perhaps his strongest statements yet in defense of President Donald Trump. Given what Jeffress has said about the president in the past, it should come as no shock that the First Baptist Dallas pastor's new remarks have left him teetering on the edge of the deep end.

Wednesday morning, Jeffress made one of his frequent appearances on conservative radio personality Todd Starnes' show to talk about the biggest threat facing America today — the vanishingly small number of white evangelicals who refuse to support the president.

“Let me say this as charitably as I can,” Jeffress said, prefacing a statement that you just know was going to be as charitable as a loan shark. “These ‘Never Trump’ evangelicals are morons. They are absolutely spineless morons and they cannot admit that they were wrong.”

Jeffress' statements may leave you, the person who feels that Trump has been just as megalomaniacal, racist and infuriating as imaginable during his two-plus years in office, wondering what the hell the pastor is talking about.

and Stalin and were martyred for it. Dietrich Bonnhoffer springs to mind, but there were millions of others.


Sadly, there were thousands of others who closed their eyes to their Leader’s evil and lined up behind him.
