Johnson Amendment--preacher, church cannot advocate political question. Trump says he killed it

1) Many Evangelical preachers state Trump eliminated it.

Did he?

2) Have read the Amendment was to prohibit churches, ministers preaching/speaking out against the Vietnam War.

If so, it worked against 'liberals'

Today conservatives are so angry about it because they believe it says they can't preach voting for conservatives or political causes
