Evangelicals by and large voted for him. Evangelicals took that food out of those starving children's mouths.

Let them send what they Should be paying in taxes to feed the hungry. That would be fair.

That’s a real surprise. I haven’t thought that there would be evangelicals who really read the Bible and not only claim to do it.

The one thing they are good for…because they want a seat in heaven. If they didn’t think it mattered for their own personal benefit, most would judge them and throw them under the bus.

Well, well, well, the Evangelicals care about TRUMP starving the children of the world. They are DYING From Starvation. He and his regime don't care, more money in their pockets

What’s surprising is that they’re not opposed to so many other things he and his regime are doing. (Makes me actually miss the WWJD days.)

The evangelicals want their free government $ (at our expense) while controlling how we live our lives. They are the root of much evil in the USA and world at large.
