Conservative Texas Pastor Rebukes 'Habitually Lying' Donald Trump

One of the Southern Baptist Convention's (SBC) most prominent Black pastors, Dwight McKissic of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, has rebuked Donald Trump and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House, saying "he would hire her in a heartbeat."

In a column published Sunday by NBC News, McKissic said that while he continued to hold conservative views on topics such as abortion and same-sex marriage, his decision to back Harris is grounded in character and competence, rather than strict adherence to social issues.

Evangelical Christians are a key voter bloc for Trump and Republicans, whose support for culturally right-wing policies like opposition to legal abortion and LGBTQ+ rights have long drawn socially conservative, highly religious voters. High turnout among white evangelical voters would be key to a Trump victory on November 5, but his relationship with the demographic has faced some tension as his positions on some of these social issues have at times been less rigid than those of other conservatives.

The Texas pastor specifically took aim at the Republican nominee's alleged extra-marital affairs and his myriads of legal battles. Last year, Trump was found liable for sexual battery and defaming one of his accusers, columnist E. Jean Carroll, in a civil case. He was ordered to pay over $80 million in damages.

But I'll take admissions of wrongdoings whenever I can get them.
