Pastor Robert Jeffress On Trump: We Knew We Weren't Voting For An Alter Boy

Pastor Robert Jeffress (L) and Stormy Daniels (R)

During an appearance on Fox News last night, Pastor Robert Jeffress explained that evangelicals don't care about Donald Trump's Stormy Daniels scandal because "they knew they weren't voting for an alter boy."

Via Mediaite:

Jeffress, a Fox News contributor and die-hard Trump supporter, defended evangelicals supportive of the president against charges of hypocrisy in light of recent news about the porn star tryst. “Let’s be clear, evangelicals still believe in the commandment: thou shalt not have sex with a porn star,” Jeffress said.

“However, whether this president violated that commandment or not is totally irrelevant to our support of him,” he continued. “Evangelicals knew they weren’t voting for an altar boy when they voted for Donald Trump. We supported him because of his policies and his strong leadership.”

So, I can wrap my head around evangelicals didn't expect Trump to be squeaky clean in the marital morals department.

But, it doesn't bother them that he LIES about sexual escapades and other issues?

1. Despite hearing similar arguments for weeks, this from Trump faith adviser Robert Jeffress is just…WOW.

When pressed on the Stormy Daniels controversy, Jeffress declares “even if it’s proven to be true, it doesn’t matter” because God forgives sinners. https://t.co/yO77p0mcFN

This is so wrong. Jeffress says that nothing Trump does matters as long as he delivers on policy/leadership. Jeffress doesn’t care if Trump is right now lying as long as he produces. This is not what a pastor would say. https://t.co/KzzhTi5q6b
