Watching Franck Schaffer on MSNBC with Joy.

He is a national treasure. His message was clear. The evangelical movement in this country is one big fat fraud. All of these guys in "the movement" are grifters. GRIFTERS! he said. And then he made it clear about Trump and his family, they are GRIFTERS!.

The only thing he left out is that Trump isn't really the president. He's a MOB BOSS.

are for the bucks it brings in. I swear you can see Ann Coulter smirking when she's demonizing Democrats. It's big bank for them.

Edit-yes, Trump is a mob boss. Russian mafia is in the White House.

to try to cheat any of the mob guys he does business with. His dad probably made it clear to him how dangerous it is to pull his grifts on any organized crime figure.

who used to travel around in tents, appealing to ignorant, rural people. As in the movie "Elmer Gantry."

On TV, they spend a good deal of their time asking for money. Even if you're broke or dying of cancer, call in for a prayer to make you well, for a "contribution" of whatever you can spare. $20 minimum is what they like to see as a minimum, but anything will do. Grifters.

It is all one big con. And the people who fall for it are big time suckers. And he was correct about Chitolini being a crooked crude grifter too.

MSNBC and/ or Sirius Xm left ought to hire this guy pronto!
