How did they keep from bursting out laughing?

How did they keep from bursting out laughing?

Indeed:

In 2016, when release of a video showing Trump boasting crudely about grabbing women’s genitals threatened to bring down his campaign, Pence traveled to Liberty University to urge people of faith to rally for Trump.

“Shortcomings are no excuse for inaction,” Pence said.

After Trump took office, he chose Liberty University for his first commencement address. As Pence did this year, Trump in 2017 encouraged graduates to stay tough under criticism. And he also thanked attendees for their support.

“Boy, did you come out and vote,” he said. “Boy, oh, boy, you voted, you voted.”

About 81% of white evangelicals voted for the Trump/Pence ticket. That’s a greater share than supported George W. Bush in 2004, John McCain in 2008 or Mitt Romney in 2012.

Right wing Christians have no shame. Which is an interesting theological twist.
