Top evangelical says ‘Iowa will rise up’ against Trump
Thehill ^ | Nov 28, 2023 | Elizabeth Crisp

Vander Plaats, CEO of the Iowa-based Christian conservative group The Family Leader, told the Blaze’s Steve Deace this week that he’s never supported Trump, after the former president went on the attack.

“Iowa will rise up,” he continued. “This is not leadership our country needs.”

“Bob Vander Plaats, the former High School Accountant from Iowa, will do anything to win, something which he hasn’t done in many years,” Trump wrote over the weekend.

“He’s more known for scamming Candidates than he is for Victory, but now he’s going around using Disinformation from the Champions of that Art, the Democrats,” he added.

From info from others in Iowa, vander plaats is a grifter who the media has been trying to make it seem to be an influencial king maker who can sway the evangelical vote enough to get people elected.

He's in the news, because he endorsed desantis, after receiving $95k.

He's less in the news, because he tweeted out about Trump not wanting to talk about golden showers

Thread on tweets vander plaats put out here

Don’t insult Evanglicals on a mostly Evanglical website. Most Evanglicals back Trump.

And sacrifice their own Children and Grandchildren to the beast if they do.

What is wrong with them? Too much corn? Can’t they see that none of the other candidates can beat the Democrats period. Aside from the fact the others are Deep state Communists themselves?

I knew this was going to happen...

I like Bob, and I am happy that he and Steve Deace endorse RDS. Whoever wins, I support, but I have no respect a guy who refuses to debate OR accept a tough interview.

No one has ever really cared what this jackoff had to say about politics. He has always been a creation of the leftist media.

I am for RDS, but I agree that many evangelicals can be way too trusting.

“Don’t insult Evanglicals on a mostly Evanglical website. Most Evanglicals back Trump. “


If the insults are deserved, we have to take it.

When these fake-ass politicians are asked about securing the border, or budget process issues... or whatever secular issue, ... and they start talking about Jesus, that is a diversion and misdirection that is directly aimed at an audience like us (evangelicals).

And these politicians do it becase there are too many Evangullibles that it works on.

vander plaats has been on steve deace’s show (beck’s blaze tv) many times, and has been using the appearances to help his name recognition.

Both deace and vander plaats currently appear to be pushing anti/never trump viewpoints, in favor of desantis.
