Tony Perkins: Liberals Are Using Trumps Porn Star Affair To Shame Evangelicals For Their Political
Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, who hosts a daily radio show on behalf of the anti-LGBTQ hate group, said that recent media criticism about the Religious Right’s quick dismissal of President Trump’s alleged affair with a porn star was simply an effort to “shame evangelicals for their political participation.”
Yesterday, Perkins told “Washington Watch” listeners that he was going to take “a little different track” on that episode because he felt the need to address the fact that some members of the media have called out the Religious Right’s support of Trump in spite of the fact that news has come to light about a $130,000 payout reportedly meant to keep adult-film actress Stephanie Clifford (whose stage name is Stormy Daniels) silent about an alleged affair with Trump. In particular, Perkins wanted to address a long-form essay by columnist Michael Gerson that mentioned Perkins’ “mulligan” remarks about Trump’s alleged affair and noted that one could “only imagine the explosion of outrage if President Barack Obama had been credibly accused of similar offenses.” Perkins and his counterparts, indeed, spent much of the past administration questioning Obama’s Christianity and moral character.
Perkins warned listeners that “the intensity” of media criticism for standing by Trump’s adultery was increasing but told them to dismiss it as an attack on evangelical voters.
“The intensity of this is growing and this is an effort to shame evangelicals for their political participation. And since I’ve spent the last 25 years, since I left the law enforcement realm and entered into the political realm both in activism and in public office, is to bring Christians to an understanding of what our role is, and our role is to be salt in the light,” Perkins said. “Now, first and foremost, that is to take the gospel to people—living it out.”

"My money is on her having the goods!"
Well, apparently IQ45 thought so too!!!
And now she's got even MORE money! 
They are too stupid to question their own logic. They will literally say anything to piss off the other side. Their version of Christianity has become an absolute joke. They are as deep into Trump - Russia and conspiracy theory bullshit as this administration is! 
..... 
.....
We had a president who was a good family man, and these assholes rejected him for a thrice divorced serial adulterer boorish oaf. They deserve him - he is them.
