Values voters say they can look past Trump bragging about sexual assault [View all]

Source: Think Progress

WASHINGTON, D.C. President Trump was welcomed at the annual Values Voters Summit with standing ovations from religious conservatives who said theyre willing to look past his personal behavior, religious beliefs, and indiscretions.

Hes an answer to our prayers, said Mandeville, Louisiana-resident Denise Hopkins. Hopkins told ThinkProgress that at first she was skeptical of Trump, who was not the candidate she thought she would support, but sometimes God surprises us.

Hed been a Democrat, hed been a liberal guy, she said. I was looking for a conservative constitutionalist. But were all a work in progress.

With his speech on Friday, Trump became the first sitting president to speak to the Values Voters Summit, an annual conference hosted by the Family Research Council (FRC). The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated FRC a hate group because of its denigration of LGBTQ people.

Today is Friday 13th, and he still is a "SEXUAL PREDATOR" and TRAITOR

And today this is what was said by two woman.....................

He sometimes doesnt say things in the most artful form, but then two or three days or a month later, its like, you know, hes got good instincts, Hopkins said.

Susan Blake, who came to the summit from South Florida for the fifth year in a row, said the president has redeemed himself with the help of good, Christian people in his life, like Vice President Mike Pence."


Now Hopkins and Blake, if your daughter came home and said someone tried to do what this "SEXUAL PREDATOR" did what would have done, say that it's good instincts............it's okay...............I don't think so, and as for and Mike Pence is also a TRAITOR
