Revealed: Trump Swore at Christian Evangelicals to GOP Lawmakers While Praising Himself For Getting Their VotesBy DAVID BADASH JULY 11, 201911:25 AM
A new book, American Carnage, explores the transition of the Republican Party into the Party of Trump, and includes revealing quotes from top GOP leaders and lawmakers who went from "Never Trump" to supporting the Oval Office occupant, and tells inside stories of how the President behaves in private.
Among the more stunning revelations in the book by POLITICO Magazine's Tim Alberta is a depiction of Trump swearing at Evangelical Christians to Republican lawmakers, then praising himself for having captured their votes.
The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey obtained a copy ahead of the book's release next week. He writes:
Those f---ing evangelicals, Trump says in a meeting with GOP lawmakers, according to the book, smiling and shaking his head. In Trumps mind, Alberta writes, he would give them the policies and the access to authority that they longed for. In return they would stand behind him unwaveringly.
Standing before the group of religious leaders in 2018, Trump said of Christianity, I owe so much to it in so many ways. He then proceeded to explain that he wouldnt be standing before them without it not because of how the faith shaped his life or informed his worldview, but because the Evangelical vote was mostly gotten by me. The attendees walked out of the room in a daze.
