Frank Schaeffer: Evangelical White Voters ‘Driven Mad’ by Abortion, Like a ‘Trump Cult’ You’d See in N. Korea

RUSH EXCERPT:

SCHAEFFER: "Well, the fact of the matter is you have to go back a little bit and look at the history of this. My father Francis Schaefer in the 1970s and ‘80s and me with his NEP tiftic side started the pro-life movement with the series called whatever happened to the human race and to the present time I think the evangelical voter has become two things, first of all, driven mad by the issue of abortion and so much of an obsession, that they would do anything, including sanctifying a guy like Roy Moore, an alleged pedophile and an alleged attempted rapist, so that is point one. Point two, the evangelical group itself has moved so far to the right that it literally is more like a trump cult now that you would find something in north Korea or whatever supporting their leader, than a political movement in the sense of the word and I don’t think people understand and I want to add as a foot note, former evangelicals like me, kicked out not because we’ve lost faith in Jesus but lost faith in the Republican Party who formed a group called vote common good and we’re going on a bus tour to 35 cities to flip the Congress, not because we are republicaning, trying to save this country from going any further down this path of this cult. This abortion obsessed cult that will take anyone and even bad mouth someone like Dr. Ford before even hearing her who has been sexually assaulted rather than vote for a Supreme Court justice who might not do everything in the litmus test the Republicans want. It makes no sense unless you understand this trump cult is no longer really an American political party in the classic sense we mean it. And that is the point I would like to make."
