Democrats Hire Anti-Trump Pastor to Recruit Evangelicals Ahead of 2020
Breitbart ^ | 15 July 2019 | PENNY STARR

Posted on 07/16/2019 8:24:29 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Democrats hoping to push President Donald Trump out of the White House are turning to the religious left in an effort to recruit evangelical voters ahead of the 2020 election.

National Public Radio (NPR) noted in its report that exit polls in the 2016 presidential election indicated only one of six white evangelical voters supported Hillary Clinton.

“She never asked for their votes,” Michael Wear, who directed religious outreach efforts for Barack Obama in 2012, said in the NPR report.

At least two Democrat candidates, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, are hiring “faith advisors,” and the Democratic National Committee has hired Rev. Derrick Harkins, an anti-Trump pastor who left his longtime post at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church to take a job at a controversial college in New York.

“The DNC hired former Washington, D.C. anti-Trump pastor, Rev. Derrick Harkins,” Fox News reported last month, saying he “held a similar position in 2012 and has been the senior vice president of Union Theological Seminary in New York City, which recently celebrated ‘rejoicing in the queerness of God.’”

“Within the Democratic Party, there is a huge spectrum of deeply faithful people,” Serene Jones, president of the college, told Fox News.

She continued:

For too long, when we look at religion in America, we have associated with just politics and the religious communities that have been associated with the Republican Party and conservative politics…and there is a strong progressive Christian voice that is being spoken and lifted up and demanding to be heard.

Part of their campaign to “get religion out of politics.”

‘rejoicing in the queerness of God.’

Now there's something all mainstream evangelicals can really get into!

“one of six white evangelical voters supported Hillary Clinton. “

This cannot possibly be true. Evangelicals don’t and should not vote for anti-God Democrats, who want to make the state “God” and not allow worship of real God.

Democrats are Baal worshipers. Scream, cut your yourselves, maybe your god is sleeping or has gone on vacation!

Ever sit though a lecture from one of those top dogs from the ELCA? The so-called Evangelical Church of America convinced me they could no longer be reformed and I exited for good not long thereafter.

Liberals are appropriating Christianity for political purposes.

They say liberal = love, Jesus wants you to love, and lie that Jesus wants you to be socialist.

Was Jesus a Socialist?

Typical classic liberal I N S A N I T Y.....
No sane evangelical would, or should, ever vote for demon-possessed left.
They lie like their big daddy...The Father of Lies. He’s taught them well.
