Trump Praises Evangelical Pastor Who Once Said Jews Can't Be Saved

[mucifer]

Donald Trump promoted the new book by controversial Evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress on Twitter Saturday. Trump wrote, "Great book just out, "A Place Called Heaven," by Dr. Robert Jeffress - A wonderful man!"

Media Matters for America compiled a clip of some of Jeffress's most extreme statements made on camera. The clip includes Jeffress saying the "the dark dirty secret of Islam is that it is a religion that promotes pedophilia." Jeffress also says "you can't be saved by being a Jew" and "Mormonism is heresy from the pit of hell."

1. Hey Israelis: Netanyahu is responsible for this. Hope you're happy.

3. The Jerusalem Embassy Act was passed in 1995.

This move should have been made 23 years ago.

2. It's not exactly news

That Nazarenes believe everyone who is not a Nazarene is going to Hell.

They've been pretty consistent in that regard for ~2000 years.

Not sure why we should be surprised that a Nazarene preacher is preaching Nazarene teachings.

Nor why anyone who rejects their beliefs should care about their beliefs.
