Donald Trump chases politics and stabs evangelical supporters in the back

Evangelical supporters of Donald Trump are finding out that the former president is not as committed to their ideals as they thought he was as they watch him play political games with abortion and IVF to avoid being associated with their unpopular principles. McKay Coppins, staff writer for the Atlantic, joins to discuss.

Tax all Evangelicals, Corporations and billionaires.

Like he cares. What he cares about is not going to prison. Vote💙🇺🇲

If a man refuses to be faithful to his wife, his children, his friends, why do Evangelicals

[zarahcastro]

It saddens me now what evangelical means. I am a Christian but I don't ever want to be called an evangelical. The US evangelical does not spread the values of Christianity but validates reasons why many become atheists.

I'm starting to see Harris Walz lawn signs down here in Florida and it literally makes me feel so hopeful bc this has been trump country for way too long. The silent majority has been silent too long. We're not going back!

It's like this if you don't want an abortion don't get abortion if you don't want to use IVF, then don't, but you don't get to tell others what to do .

"Rabbi, how shall we know an evil man?" And Jesus said, "He is always full of LIES and INSULTS".

It's not a crime to be weird, it's just weird to worship a criminal.

January 6. He shouldn’t even be allowed on the ballot!

[racheltaylor]

I’m so tired of people saying he’s better on the economy…what a JOKE!!

[NottyAries]

It's time for churches to start paying taxes.

Evangelicals are gambling by betting on a human being who is not trustworthy & who is just the opposite of what the Gospel of Christ stands for. Enough of the hypocrisy of the Evangelicals. Get back to the Gospel & DO what Christ wants you to do, love thy neighbor as thyself.

[antipop]

He doesn't care about anyone but himself 🤢🤮

[markbendig]

I wish she would not speak of "pro-abortion voters". No one is pro-abortion. We are pro-women's rights.

[pncfqwv]

Maybe the Evangelicals will finally wake up and see he has been lying to them from the beginning

[limelemon]

They are not pro life as long as they are pro guns.

[stevenwilson]

Why do they even believe he is a good Christian? It makes no sense.

[annette-fluy]

This is a move from the Narcissist handbook. Flip flop and lie, lie, lie

[rahimmajid]

All the right-wingers here were talking about Kamala Harris changing her 2019 stance on fracking and accusing her of flip-flopping when their guy Trump literally flip-flopped on the Florida abortion ban issue within 24 hours. 🤦‍♂
