Bipartisan Christian group forms super PAC to oppose Trump
Source: ABC News
WASHINGTON -- A group of prominent Christians from both sides of the aisle, including a past faith adviser to former President Barack Obama, is forming a political action committee designed to chip away at Christian support for President Donald Trump in the final weeks of the 2020 campaign.
Dubbed Not Our Faith, the new super PAC plans to roll out six-figure TV and digital ads focused on Christian voters particularly the evangelical and Catholic voters who helped power Trump to victory in 2016. Its first digital ad, set to run in Michigan and Pennsylvania, takes sharp aim at Trumps claim to a foothold with Christians.
The ad, shared with The Associated Press in advance of its release, says Trump has used Christianity for his own purposes, invoking imagery of the Republican presidents photo op outside a historic Washington church amid this summers racial justice demonstrations. Urging Christians to break from Trump, the ad states that they dont need Trump to save them. The truth is that Trump needs Christians to save his flailing campaign.
That sharp critique of Trumps standing with Christian voters comes as the president looks to evangelicals in particular to help him muscle to reelection over Democratic nominee Joe Biden. While Bidens campaign is mounting a well-organized faith outreach effort, that work largely focuses on an affirmative case for the former vice president rather than the overtly anti-Trump case that the new PAC is making.

Interestingly, one of the members of this group is Autumn Vandehei who was an advisor to Tom DeLay.

(2,757 posts)I've seethed with frustration over the way Trump pretends to be Christian and RW evangelicals pretending he is one.
Jesus said we'd know his followers by the fruits of the Spirit. They'd exhibit joy, peace, love, goodness, kindness, patience, gentleness, faithfulness, or self-control.
Trump shows the opposite traits: joylessness / dissatisfaction, strife / discord, animosity / hatred, wickedness / corruption, intolerance / maliciousness, intractability /frustration, harshness / brutality, disloyalty / treachery, instability / rashness.
If he isn't THE Antichrist, he certainly seems to me to be an antichrist.
