We never have to listen to their moralizing againby digby
They are over.
Evangelical leader Tony Perkins in a new interview said President Trump got a “mulligan” on his past behavior, adding that the president is providing the leadership the country needs.
“We kind of gave him — ‘All right, you get a mulligan. You get a do-over here,’” Perkins, the Family Research Council president, told Politico’s “Off Message” podcast.
Perkins said evangelical Christians were “tired of being kicked around by Barack Obama and his leftists.”
“And I think they are finally glad that there’s somebody on the playground that is willing to punch the bully,” he said.
He added that Christianity is not “all about being a welcome mat which people can just stomp their feet on.”
This is what passes for principles and morality by the Christian Right today. They just want a fascist leader to punch out people who don’t agree with them.
I’ve been watching right wingers on TV all day saying that Trump sleeping with porn stars and grabbing women by the pussy is no big deal because Donald Trump is a different man than he was five years ago. Some say that Christian conservatives and “family values” zealots may have lost a little moral authority and they take the measure of each man and decide on a case by case basis if they are worthy of condemnation.
In other words, it’s all ok if you are a Republican.
Surely that is what Jesus would do.
