Bush-Era Official Tears into DT Jr. For Arguing 'Teachings of Jesus Have 'Gotten us Nothing

Peter Wehner, who has served in the administrations of President Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, and George W. Bush tore into Donald Trump Jr. on Sunday over a recent speech he gave to young conservatives.

Wehner pulled no punches in ridiculing Trump Jr.’s character, which he called riddled with “corruption, ineptitude, and banality.” But, it was Trump Jr.’s recent speech in Phoenix, Arizona at Turning Point USA’s America Fest Conference Wehner took particular issue with.

Wehner wrote in The Atlantic:

Throughout his speech, Don Jr. painted a scenario in which Trump supporters—Americans living in red America—are under relentless attack from a wicked and brutal enemy. He portrayed it as an existential battle between good and evil. One side must prevail; the other must be crushed. This in turn justifies any necessary means to win.


Wehner, a devout Christian and fellow at the Trinity Forum, lambasted Trump Jr. for invoking Christian values in his speech.
