8 Times Pastor Robert Jeffress Was a Stooge for Donald Trump
First Baptist Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffress took to the airwaves Friday to make one thing clear: He and the rest of President Donald Trump's evangelical backers aren't being used by the president.
“I agree 100 percent that no pastor should be a stooge for a political party or for a government leader. I agree 100 percent with that, but I don’t know anyone on the current team that is," Jeffress said in response to comments from J.D. Greear, president of the Southern Baptist Convention. "If he is insinuating and I think he is that those of us evangelical leaders who support Trump are somehow being co-opted by him, that is absolutely not the case at all.”
Let's look at eight times Jeffress was Trump's stooge.
1. "Make America Great Again" the hymn. When the time came for 2017's Celebrate Freedom Rally in Washington D.C., President Trump called on Jeffress and the First Baptist choir to help fill out the program. When it performed on July 1, the choir was ready, serenading the crowd with a specially composed hymn titled "Make America Great Again." Nothing says not being co-opted like writing a hymn around dear leader's campaign slogan.
