Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele calls evangelicals who support Trump 'the biggest phonies of all'

 

 

Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, called evangelical Christians who support President Donald Trump "the biggest phonies of all" in a new book by the journalist Tim Alberta.

"These evangelical [leaders] are the biggest phonies of all," Alberta quoted Steele as saying in his newly published book, "American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump."

Steele went on, "These are the people who spent the last forty years telling everyone how to live, who to love, what to think about morality. And then this m*****f***er comes along defiling the White House and disrespecting God's children at every turn, but it's cool, because he gave them two Supreme Court justices. They got their thirty pieces of silver."

White evangelical Christians make up 20% of all registered voters and supported President Donald Trump 77% to 16% in the 2016 election. The group makes up about a third of all Republican voters and, according to a 2014 poll, 76% of them say they're Republicans or lean to the right.

Steele has long been critical of the president and his administration and previously called evangelicals hypocritical for supporting Trump. Despite sharp disagreements with the party he used to help lead, Steele has remained a registered Republican.

"I have a very simple admonition at this point," Steele said on MSNBC in January 2018. "Just shut the hell up and don't ever preach to me about anything ever again. I don't want to hear it."

Other prominent politicians, including the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, have also singled out the evangelical community for criticism. Buttigieg has specifically called out Vice President Mike Pence, a devout evangelical.

"How could [Pence] allow himself to become the cheerleader of the ****-star presidency? Is it that he stopped believing in Scripture when he started believing in Donald Trump? I don't know," Buttigieg said during a CNN town hall in March.

Why do you scream all night and day when a Rino opens their biased
pie hole which means nothing, they say nothing you know nothing
and it's about nothing. I was going to say no one is that stupid to scream
about Micky the loser. OK, I was wrong, I forgot about the one in every
herd. Maybe you and Pete can split a beer and work something out. 
 
After all that liberal whopping it up I expected a large part of the
sky all over the ground.

I believe Trump is more faithful than either of the Clinton's and
unlike both of the Clinton's no one has accrued Trump of murder
and a few other felony charges...huh  

The former head of the RNC doesn't think too much of Trump and Jack can't seem to make a post without screaming about the Clintons. What do these two things have to do with each other?
