Republican presidential nominee has been proving his sleaze status this week. The now infamous audio from an Access Hollywood bus in 2005 shows how Trump really likes to talk about women. He was bragging about sexually assaulting women.
For some strange reason, Evangelical Christian leaders are still backing Donald Trump. Famous televangelist leader Pat Robertson is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He, along with other Christian leaders, are saying that God chose Trump to be their president. Some people are even comparing him to Jesus! These are the same people who have been trying to get into our bedrooms for decades. However, Trump groping women seems to be OK with them.
Robertson had this response to the Access Hollywood audio:
“A guy does something 11 years ago, it was a conversation in Hollywood where he’s trying to look like he’s macho. And 11 years after that they surface it from the Washington Post or whatever, bring it out within 30 days or so of the election and this is supposed to be the death blow and everybody writes him off, ‘OK, he’s dead. Now you’ve got to get out of the way and let Mike Pence run the campaign.'”
“The Donald says no. He’s like the phoenix: They think he’s dead, he’s come back. And he came back strong. So, he won that debate.”
At least there is one sane leader among them. Chelsen Vicari, the Evangelical Action Director at the Institute on Religion, said:
“For anyone calling themselves a Christian, ‘locker room talk’ and ‘macho talk’ is no defense for degrading, abusive remarks against women.”
Yes, we do need a strong leader, but we can’t have a president who behaves the way this orange menace does. We already have a great leader, and we are about to elect a strong leader in Hillary Clinton. Trump is a complete bigot, and he needs to lose in a landslide.
