Trump tweeted Pastor Robert Jeffress, on the Fox & Friends, “If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War.”
Are the gun-toting violence-loving white evangelicals following Jeffress going to kill us?
According to Jeffress: ‘They know they couldn’t beat him in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, and they’re increasingly aware of the fact that they won’t win against him in 2020, and Impeachment is the only tool they have to get rid of Donald J. Trump.’
‘And the Democrats don’t care if they burn down and destroy this nation in the process.’
When asked about the reaction from evangelical Christians to the possibility of an impeachment inquiry against Trump, Jeffress responded: ‘I have never seen the evangelical Christians more angry over any issue than this attempt to illegitimately remove this president from office, overturn the 2016 election, and negate the votes of millions of evangelicals in the process.’
‘They know the only impeachable offense that President Trump has committed was beating Hillary Clinton in 2016.‘That’s the unpardonable sin for which the Democrats will never forgive him.’
‘If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this nation from which our country will never heal.’
Jeffress counts himself as a supporter and adviser to Trump on religious matters. He has been quoted as saying Catholicism is a ‘cult-like pagan religion’ and that Jews and their children will receive eternal damnation for voting for Democrats…
‘He wrote down and read terrible things, then said it was from the mouth of the President of the United States. I want Schiff questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason,’ he wrote….
During an appearance last month on a Fox News radio show hosted by Todd Starnes, he said Jews and their children would be cursed by God if they vote for Democrats.
A Republican member of Congress slammed Trump for tweeting Jeffress’ comments about the prospect of a civil war in America.‘I have visited nations ravaged by civil war,’ tweeted House Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.
To be continued… Trump asked America’s white evangelicals to choose between Jesus and him they chose Trump.
What’s next for this cult?

I have often said and believed that when one mixes your religion with you politics the politics becomes your religion. Here is a prime and highly toxic example.
Dear Frank,
Jeffress should not be allowed to use the pulpit to promote lies and hate politics. He should resign and enter politics if he so wishes. We need to start collecting signatures for him to step down and stop using church resources to stoke civil disturbances.
