Al Sharpton: Pro-Trump Evangelicals ‘Would Sell Jesus Out’
2019-12-25
[BREITBART] Monday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe," network host civil rights hustler Al Sharpton
...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor...
offered further reaction to Christianity Today Mark Galli’s editorial calling for President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
’s impeachment to proceed on moral grounds.

According to Sharpton, his interpretation of the Christianity Today piece was that evangelical leaders backing Trump "would sell Jesus out" in exchange for something.

"We had Mark Galli, the editor of Christianity Today on ’PoliticsNation’ last night," he said. "And he made it very clear. This is not a political position. It’s a moral one. And by raising it to that level and putting it in that perspective, he not only exposes the president, but he exposes a lot of the evangelical leaders saying ’I support the president on his judicial nominees. I support the president on a lot of things,’ which I don’t, but he does. He says, ’But you can’t get away from his immorality. you can’t get away from his divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
ness, his lying, his race-baiting.’ He laid it out. I think there’s a scripture that said what profits a man to gain the world and lose his own soul, he’s actually challenging them that are you bargaining and selling your soul for some judicial appointments and some other things that the right wants, but you’ve given up the soul of the church? What do we stand for?
’But you can’t get away from his immorality. You can’t get away from his divisiveness, his lying, his race-baiting. Kids, this is called PROJECTION.
"I think it’s a devastating blow," Sharpton continued. "This is a magazine, Mika, that was founded by Billy Graham. They also supported the impeachment of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is...
. So why all of a sudden is it so controversial with these leaders that they would come for the impeachment of Donald Trump when they did it to Bill Clinton? The evangelical leaders weren’t insulted. When they did it to Richard Nixon, they weren’t. The reason they’re so offended is it’s exposing all of them that they would take the shameless conman over the principles that they’re preaching in the holy season as we celebrate Jesus. They would sell Jesus out if they felt they could get something from it is the inference he’s saying from his editorial. And that’s sad on many levels."

#4  #1 , I think he demonstrated that with the money changers on the steps of the temple. Mr. Sharpton has been in that business for a long time.
