Mike Pence uses Jesus as a human shield to protect Trump

Mike Pence uses Jesus as a human shield to protect Trump

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/watch-mike-pence-uses-jesus-as-a-human-shield-to-protect-trump/

Speaking at a campaign event in North Carolina on Monday, Pence talked about how his Christian faith has taught him to forgive people such as Donald Trump when they err, as Trump did when he talked about grabbing women “by the pussy” in a leaked tape.

“My faith informs me that we’re to hold up a Godly standard,” Pence said. “But it also informs me that we all fall short. We all fall short of the glory of God. There’s no one righteous, other than The One. As I said last weekend, I don’t condone what was said, and I spoke out against it. But the other part of my faith is I believe in grace. I’ve received it. I’ve believed in it… Last night, my running mate, he showed the American people what was in his heart.”

Apparently, Trump’s “heart” told him to hold a press conference with women who in the past have accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual harassment or assault, but Pence didn’t bring this up. Instead, he talked about the part of Trump’s “heart” that said he apologized.

“He showed humility to the American people,” Pence said. “And then he fought back and turned the focus to the choice that we face, and I am proud to stand with Donald Trump.”

with cloven hooves, grabbing hands and a foul mouth full of deception. Odd thing though, he had a teeny tiny penis, smelled like burnt tic tacs and had a pet weasel named Pence. What a hellish vision.

I can't imagine Jesus of the New Testament ever saying to Pence "heck of a job" Mike. What he probably said to sinners like the Pharisees: Get your blood money and filthy words out of God's temple and go and sin no more.

that many American Christians are foul hypocrites of the worst kind. They aren't even trying to hide it.

What the FUCK?! Trump laid a giant doody in the middle of the stage and then proceeded to smear it around on the floor for the entire country to see.

We don't need JESUS to see that or to know he was like this!
