Matt Dowd: ‘Every Single Thing Donald Trump Do Offends the Message of the Gospel’

EXCERPT:

DOWD: “I mean, every single thing Donald Trump do offends the message of the gospels, in my view. You know, Jesus knocked over the tables and the temples where the money changers were, now Donald Trump’s hawking a Bible in this. Donald Trump speaks and is the most divisive, cruel person in the history of the presidency, and obviously it’s an exact opposite of what Jesus’ message was in this. But to me, it speaks to the rot that exists among the Christian nationalists in this country who believe in a prosperity gospel, that you’re supposed to get rich even though Jesus' message was against greed and was actually aimed at rich people in the course of this. But it’s incredibly, incredibly revealing that there are evangelicals in this country and Christian nationals totally support this guy and actually support his message in trying to hawk things. That’s what they’re doing in their daily lives in many of their churches. It’s such a revelatory, to use a religious term, a revelatory thing that Donald Trump does this and then is backed by certain people of the faith. It just exposes the rot that exists in faith communities in America."
