I’ve been an evangelical Christian my entire life and am a southern white woman. I’m also a Harris/Walz supporter! We don’t all fit into the political classification that people think we do. 💙🇺🇸

Recreational cruelty. That's a perfect description of the MAGA cult.

[DrLoren]

We asked Senator Ossoff for Harris/Walz to visit outside Atlanta...AND IT'S HAPPENING PRAISE GOD! Harris/Walz MUST WIN!

Thank you REV. LEE R. SCOTTI!!! May your organization EVANGELICALS FOR HARRIS bring more people to their senses, to unity, to community... to practice the teachings of the great master Jesus.

“I don't want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it.”

Calling Trump on his "recreational cruelty" is SO on target!

[voraciousreader]

Thank goodness *TRUE CHRISTIANS* are coming into their own!! Thank you!!

[TheRubeeRose]

Christians, please please remember what those on the "right" said concerning Walz's son's wonderful moment in the sun when he was so proud of his dad! You are voting for decency, kindness, respect when you vote blue 💙

"the watching world". Yes, Rev Scott, the rest of the world is watching. Thank you for speaking out (from Sweden & UK). ❤

4:30 _"... I grew tired of seeing the meanness, bigotry, and, frankly, _*_recreational cruelty._*_ "_ Yo....💯!!! I _so_ wish other Evangelicals (and Christians, in general) would take a stand against MAGA like this.

[selenachronister]

Thank you sir for representing PA with a positive message on unity and kindness

[mako]

"Recreational Cruelty" great term.

[AshishShrivastava-qi]

"...Recreational cruelty conflated with the worldly witness of our faith...." What a wonderfully articulate observation so artfully stated! Well Done!

[walnut]

Religious groups should stop trying to get the government to enforce their beliefs on the rest of us and start doing things that make people want to follow their teachings. Pretty simple concept and it sounds like 'Evangelicals for Harris' is finally a group that sees that. If your belief system is an undeniable truth, you don't need to force it on anyone.

[AndeThompson-exsv]

I’m thrilled to see evangelicals supporting
Harris-Walz 2024!💙🇺🇸💙

[HenriettaHudson-wewv]

Thank you so much, Evangelicals for Harris!!! Thank you, Rev. Lee Scott!!! We need all the help we can get to defeat Donald Trump in November!!! HARRIS-WALZ 2024!!! STOP PROJECT 2025!!!

[ihlxkov]

"Recreational Cruelty"... well said.

This guy needs to be cloned for his clear explanation and ethics grounded in reality
