Pastor Jeffress Endorses Trump: He Has 10 Billion Reasons He Doesn’t Have To Do This
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TRUMP: “Another thing we have to talk about, I've had tremendous support from the evangelicals and from Christians. I've had tremendous support. And, in fact, Pastor Jeffers is here right now. Pastor Jeffers, where are you? Come here, come here. I saw him. Get him over here. He has been so supportive. I didn't meet him, I've seen him on television for years, I always liked him a lot. And one day I'm listening to him, ç and he said, Donald Trump may not be perfect, but he's the best leader, he's the strongest guy. He's going to knock out ISIS, he's going to do great for our economy. He may not be perfect -- I didn't like that, but that's okay -- but he's going to be our best president. Will you come up? I love this guy. I'm just watching him, and highly, highly respected. And also, Jerry Falwell Jr. was so incredible. And since I get -- and many others. The reverend Paul white, so many others. We have such support. We have unbelievable support from Sarah Palin. She is incredible. She's a great person. Come on up here, reverend. Pastor Jeffers, and is it true? I didn't know him and I love him. Say a few words.
JEFFERS: “Let me just say briefly, I know three things about Donald Trump. Number one, he sincerely loves this country. He has 10 billion reasons he doesn't have to do this, but he does it because he wants to make America great again. The second thing I know about Donald Trump is that he is truly pro-life. I have talked to him in trump towers. He believes in protecting the unborn. That is an issue we as Christians care about, and I'll tell you what, some of you who say, well, I don't know if his pro-life conversion was real, let me tell you something, Hillary Clinton doesn't claim any pro-life conversion. If you go for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, there is no doubt you're going to have the most pro-abortion president in history. But here is what I finally know about Donald Trump. Donald Trump cares about and loves evangelical Christians. You know, one time when Ronald Reagan was running for president of the united STA the first time, he met with a group of evangelical leaders, and he said, although you can't endorse me, I want you to know I endorse you. And I have met -- I have met with Mr. Trump on several occasions, and I can tell you from personal experience, if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States, we who are evangelical Christians are going to have a true friend in the White House. God bless Donald Trump!”
TRUMP: "Wow. How about that? How about that? I'm telling you, I saw the pastor on television like a year ago, and he was saying all these good things. And I never met him but I had been watching him.He was saying all these incredible things and I said, we have to meet this man. I just have incredible respect for him. Thank you very much."
