Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele calls evangelicals who support Trump 'the biggest phonies of all'
Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, called evangelical Christians who support President Donald Trump"the biggest phonies of all," in a new book by the journalist Tim Alberta.
He went on,"These are the people who spent the last forty years telling everyone how to live, who to love, what to think about morality. And then this motherf--ker comes along defiling the White House and disrespecting God's children at every turn, but it's cool, because he gave them two Supreme Court justices. They got their thirty pieces of silver."
White evangelical Christians make up 20% of all registered voters and supported President Donald Trump 77% to 16% in the 2016 election. The group makes up about a third of all Republican voters and, according to a 2014 poll, 76% of them say they're Republicans or lean to the right. Story continues"I have a very simple admonition at this point," Steele said on MSNBC in January 2018."Just shut the hell up and don't ever preach to me about anything ever again. I don't want to hear it."
