An MSNBC guest told Craig Melvin this morning that evangelical Christian supporters of President Donald Trump are often more faithful to the president than to religious teaching.
Business Insider columnist Linette Lopez was speaking with Melvin on MSNBC Live on Monday morning, where they were discussing a Christianity Today editorial that called for the removal of Trump from office and the backlash it received from Trump supporters.
“It’s taken three years for an evangelical magazine to distance itself from a president who has said some things that do not align with the teachings of Jesus Christ, who has done some things that arguably do not align themselves with the teachings of Jesus Christ. What do you think is behind this sudden breakup, if you will?” Melvin asked
“Evangelical political activity has not always been in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ,” she said. “And, you know, so it’s quite possible this is an awakening because there are Christians who is see the full loyalty of evangelical Christians – they’re giving their full loyalty to the president and not to God.”
“A lot of Trump supporters, they’re performing for Trump. They say whatever Trump wants to say. Trump has their full loyalty,” Lopez continued, going on to explain the history of political participation from evangelical Americans. “Trump is not in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ.”
“It seems like evangelicals who support Trump want to punish their enemies. They’re thinking about an old testament God, a God who uplifts them and it isn’t necessarily a very Christ-like feeling,” she said.
And she would know about God how?
I say, “DESPERATION!”
Just exactly which god are they not loyal to, Lopez?
Their God in the highest? Or your abortion god, Molech?
Because if you’re not supporting Trump, you’re supporting devil worship thru the abortion god, Molech.

I see nothing in her bio which provides any credentials for speaking on the subject.
Ordinarily I might object to this cartoonish photo, as Jesus Christ is often overlooked as the reason for the season.
I am going to refrain from indignation, as I look at the picture and realize it will drive the leftist Democrats to insanity. I suppose that is not very much in the Christmas spirit, is it? Still I think Jesus might have a sense of humor here.
From the Business Insider blog that has never published a story about business to my knowledge...
Liberals don’t let religion interfere with politics so why should evangelicals?
Once again - liberal morons are taking full advantage of that idiot at CT and his anti-Trump screechings.
Ms. Linette Lopez have you ever studied the 9th commandment. Have you ever even read it? Understand it? At all?
Nicely done.
If Linnette is not bound by any moral code, I guess she can say anything she wants.
You will know them by the fruit they bear. . .
Ten or eleven years ago, they published some business-related stories. It has been a long time, however, since they published anything but left-wing drivel. Far left wing, I should say.
This sudden interest and concern, about God/Christianity, by the left is QUITE laughable, considering THEY are the demonic party that DENIED God - not ONCE, but THREE times - during their DNC platform convention.
Saw off, Ms Lopez.
Same kind of guilt trip methods they use to destroy our churches with homosexuality.
