Buttigieg: ‘Hypocrisy’ of Evangelicals Supporting Trump Is ‘Unbelievable’
Breitbart ^ | 7 Apr 2019 | Pam Key

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a likely 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, attacked evangelical Christians that support President Donald Trump by claiming “hypocrisy is unbelievable.”

Buttigieg said, “It’s something that frustrates me because the hypocrisy is unbelievable. Here you have somebody that not only acts in a way that’s not consistent with anything I hear in scripture or church were it is about lifting up the least among us and taking care of strangers which is another word for immigrants, and making sure that you are focusing your efforts on the poor. Also personally how you’re supposed to conduct yourself, not chest pumping look at me-ism but humbling yourself among others. Foot washing is a central image in the New Testament. We see the diametric opposite of that in this presidency.”

He added, “I think there was a cynical process where he decided to, for example, begin to pretend to be pro-life and govern accordingly. Which was good enough to bring many evangelicals over to his side....

Forget this 100% Democrat nutcase, Buttigieg being thrown off a three story building roof. The Russians, Chinese, Iranians, Radical Terror Muslims, North Koreans, etc. will have a blooming field day with this “Little Pajama Boy”!!! Goodbye...USA. Yes...vote Democrat and destroy your own country and yourselves in the process...Go figure.

Have fun American voters with Democrat, “Creepy, Fondling, Uncle” Weak, Joe Biden as the leader of the pack followed by scores of Democrat twisted minds and bodies...what a freak show...it would be funny...but, it is really tragic for the American Republic.

I welcome Mr. Buttigieg to point me to the chapter or verse that supports his lifestyle. Based on his blathering, he hasn’t a clue what the Bible does say.

"You always notice how atheists are always telling Christians what the Bible says?"

Yes.

I was speaking with my wife about this today.

I just love how a NON Christian throws down scripture, without knowing what the hell it means.

"Judge not, yest ye be judged"

Well, that is cool and all, but they never mention what Jesus said after that.

Sure, He said not to judge, that is left to the Lord.

But Jesus actually says don't judge as a hypocrite.

In other words don't judge people who are diddling little boys, while doing the same.

Period. Full stop.

ALL of us are sinners.

Don't go around parading yourself as a paragon of virtue, when you have many skeletons in your own closet, so to speak.

Um, sorry about the double post.

I AM a sinner.

Probably one of the biggest.

Because Obama never engaged in a single instance of “chest pumping look at me ism”! Yeah right! Meanwhile, who’s responsible for 3.2% unemployment and a historically low unemployment rate among Blacks and Hispanics? Didn’t hear you, Butthead!!1;)

Buttiboi appears to be very concerned that others follow the scriptures but I don’t see him justifying his homosexual partnership with any biblical citations.

Hey Butti, nothing is more of a slap in the face than the one you give your gay brothers by supporting Muslims.

Butti is an Episcopalian? Shoulda known. They are really good at confessing that other people have sinned.

Hypocrisy ?

He’s a homosexual who supports infanticide and calls himself a Christian, yet denounces other Christians

That’s the very definition of hypocrisy

Proving once again that Liberals who think taking other People’s Property through overzealous Government mandated Taxation and giving it to the people who support them Politically qualifies as a “charitable” (AKA Christian) act.

The same can be said for using overzealous Government mandated Taxation to pay Planned Parenthood to murder the Unborn because it’s the Christian thing to do.

Our priest’s homily this week focused on the woman who was to be stoned for committing adultery, and our Lord admonished those who would stone her to cast the first stone if he or she was without sin. Then he made the point that those who quote this often leave out the concluding statement: “Go and sin no more.” A lot of non-Christians like to emphasize the first part, but not the endpoint which, IMO, has equal weight with the first.

It’s not just Marx. He is well-versed in Saul Alinsky. Ever read “Rules for Radicals”? His talking points are straight outta there, a book that is dedicated to Satan. I kid you not.

I watched this interview this morning. Glad to see it’s highlighted here. It was a stunning case of idiocy for Buttigieg to criticize the character of DJT, who has done nothing —as President— to deserve Pete’s scorn.

Mr. Bittigieg is not a born-again Christian, or he would understand how a man can change, regardless of his past, when he becomes born again. And yes, I do believe that DJT is born again, as do many evangelicals. Don’t like his style... too bad. He’s going up against MSM evil.

DJT did not run to be the Sunday School Superintendent of the Untied States. You think Romney, or Jeb, or Rubio would have got done what this President has?? It’s not 1950 folks.

The Left are Lunatics.

I do believe Christ specifically said something about “Wow unto them that hurt a child, it would be better to tie a mill stone atound their neck and drown themselves” or some such.

Robertson of Duck dynasty was wild, owned a bar and catted around as I understand it. His wife gave a achoice, he chose her and Christ.

A secular humanist claiming they know the theological world view and are able to judge them is comical
