immigrants all rapists and murders not good people. Although many did speak out against trump , many people liked the anti immigrant talk and many of them were in the churches .

This was really when Trump could have been stopped
In the primaries if guys like this and churches would have spoke truth and been No we can’t vote trump this is not Jesus stuff .
Evangelicals alone could have taken trump down from the primary after that escalator and changed acceptance of nasty Trump talk.
Those type of evangelicals could have said no to the GOP, we want someone else and they had Cruz, but it turns out they were some of the people that also really liked trump’s racist talk and sleeze. Also,hey he promises no abortion too just like Cruz so they got a bonus feel with trump

This guy just now speaks out to his church 2020 and leaves? He knew in 2015 trump was bad , it continued to get worse but he went along with the sheep herd and
even continued being one of the leaders while not speaking out about what was wrong with trump
Silence smh
Five years I guess was his limit

“It just floors me how church-going people who read the Bible and sing the hymns can show up at a [Trump] rally and just do that deep bellow like an angry mob supporting these horrible things that come out of his heart and his mind,” Mannes said. “It just began to trouble me so much that I am a pastor in this big enterprise.”

Trump and some of his Jesus people is such a weird grift combo we have to all witness and suffer no more hopefully after next month or so
