TRUMP SPEAKS AT ANTI-LGBT GROUP'S EVENT: LIBERALS ARE TRYING TO SILENCE AND PUNISH CHRISTIANS

BY HARRIET SINCLAIR ON 10/14/19 AT 4:22 AM EDT

President Donald Trump has claimed liberals are attempting to "silence and punish" Christians, and pledged never to allow the federal government to harass communities of faith.

Speaking at the annual Value Voters Summit, which is hosted by right-wing anti-LGBT group the Family Research Council, Trump suggested on Saturday night that his views were "under assault."

"Frankly, these people are crazy," the president said of the "radical left."

"We're under assault, very simple, we're under assault," the president continued, speaking to his right-wing Christian audience. "We believe in the right to free speech, we believe in the right to life."

1. Your policies are killing Christian Kurds

What about that you asshole

[Thomas Hurt]

2. they keep saying they are being silenced but in doing so they prove themselves wrong.

more fn lies. conservative religionists are the ones shooting up gay bars and assassinating physicians.

conservatives are the ones shooting up synagogues and churches.


This rhetoric really means that they right should be able to do and say what they want on these issues and the rest of us are supposed to STFU.

3. Oh the oppression of Christians...

where there's a church on every corner and Christian fanatics are laying hands on the president every day.. what a damn scam.

4. Just pull back...

Watch the process. He fills in the words as needed.

What he is trying to do is not only consistent, it is very ominous and troubling. Getting votes for the next election seems to be secondary to whipping his followers into a violent frenzy now. He knows that is where he has to go and he is ratcheting up that kind of rhetoric, which we really could have expected.

I see this as phase two. I guess we will find out what phase three will be, unfortunately.

[Matthew28]

5. The opposite is true

This bastard is trying to do that to gays and trans people. He wants to turn us into a country that forces these people to live in fear and silence.

6. Desperate. nt
