New ‘Evangelicals for Harris’ ad highlights Trump’s quote saying he doesn’t ask God for forgiveness

Trump has previously sold $60 Bibles and compared himself to Jesus Christ

The ad features a clip of an interview between GOP pollster Frank Luntz and Donald Trump during the Family Leadership Summit in 2015. There, Luntz asked Trump if he had ever sought God’s forgiveness. Trump called it a tough question, telling Luntz, “I’m not sure I have.”

This isn’t the first time Trump, who has compared himself to Jesus Christ on multiple occassions, has been accused of religious hypocrisy.

n June 2020, during the Black Lives Matter protests, Trump and several staffers walked to Washington, DC’s St John’s Church — which was vandalized — after riot police cleared largely peaceful demonstrators in nearby Lafayette Square using tear gas.

There, Trump stood silently and was photographed holding up a Bible, which some speculated was upside down. Several opponents — including President Joe Biden — accused him of using the book as a prop. Asked by a reporter whether it was his Bible, he replied that it was “a Bible. Then, earlier this year, Trump began selling the “God Bless the USA” Bible for $60.



In addition, he has also called himself “the chosen one.” How Evangelicals can’t see all this is beyond me. I know there are a lot of passages in the Bible that talk about “false prophets” and worshipping false idols.
