BETWEEN THE LINES
WHAT I SAW AT THE TRUMP-EVANGELICAL SUMMIT
Exclusive: Joseph Farah confronts 'Republican Hate Kills' protesters outside event
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of attending an unusual meeting with Donald Trump and more than 1,000 evangelical leaders in New York.
It was said to be the largest gathering of its kind between Bible-believing Christian leaders and a presidential candidate.
It was a moving event. Trump hit all the right chords. He was sincere about his plans to fight for religious liberty and name judges who stick to the Constitution – he even shocked many in the audience by suggesting it was time to lift the political gag order placed on pastors getting involved in politics by President Lyndon Johnson so many years ago.
In the heart of Manhattan, the Christians closed the meeting with stirring prayers for the future of the country, complete with calls for repentance and revival.
Politically speaking, it was never clearer to me how stark is the choice we face in the 2016 presidential election. While the organizers of the event said they intend to invite Hillary Clinton to a similar meeting, few expected her to accept such an invitation.
Since the contents of the meeting were off the record, I can’t say much more than that about the event itself – other than it represented a who’s who of politically active church leaders.
I tell you this only to frame something I witnessed immediately after the event, as I left the Marriott Marquis Hotel for a dinner meeting.
A group of 10 or 15 protesters carrying a large banner marched past the hotel entrance. They chanted the slogan professionally printed on the 50-foot-wide banner: “Republican Hate Kills.”
Intrigued, I asked several of the protesters what it meant.
Every single one of them said the same thing – “Orlando.”
Orlando?
You mean where a “gay,” jihadist Democrat murdered 50 people in a bar catering to homosexuals?
Yes, that Orlando.
It’s clinical insanity.
I’m glad Trump made the point in his blistering attack on Hillary Clinton Wednesday that she accepted a fortune in jewelry gifts from the Sultan of Brunei, which is among the many nations that treat “gays” harshly.
I’m glad he mentioned the $25 million she has accepted from Saudi Arabia, a regime that enslaves women and carries the death penalty for “gays.”
I’m glad he has mocked the Iran nuclear deal in which the U.S. gave the real homophobic regime that encouraged the killing of “gays” $100 billion so they can remain the largest terrorist-supporting nation in the world.
I’m ever so grateful that Trump has clarified the issue on which party represents the real haters.
The party of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow laws has cleaned up its image over the years, but not its substance.
It’s still the party of hate – and always has been.
They call me a homophobe because of my Christian faith. But would I take money from Saudi Arabia or the Sultan of Brunei? No, not for anything. These are Shariah law supporters. Do these folks understand what Shariah law would mean to them?
This is total disconnect – or willful blindness.
So why do they hate Republicans? It would seem Trump is the only one who is trying to stop the Democratic Party plan to import millions of new constituents no matter what they believe. It would seem Trump is standing up to Hillary who is personally profiting from those who torture and kill homosexuals and lesbians – not to mention Christians and other “infidels.”
By the way, did I tell you that the Christian leaders in New York repeatedly mourned the slaughter in Orlando – and prayed for the victims and their families?
That doesn’t sound like “hate” to me.
