Evangelicals who endorse Trump also endorse his racist bigotry.
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/10/when-evangelicals-endorse-trump-with.htmlTrump has made no real effort to hide his bigotry and his hatred for persons of color, lumping all of them into a category of people he considers outsiders in a white, Christian nationalist America. I was a little bit shocked, however, when one of the speakers at his rally in Madison Square Garden, billed as a "comedian", Tony Hinchcliffe, came out spewing all of that vitriol and hatred at people of color so openly, and in such terms. There's no hiding behind excuses for this, Trump approved booking the guy, knowing exactly what he was going to say and now is making the ridiculous claim that he didn't have anything to do with it.
Liar. And those who are Evangelical supporters of Trump own the lies, approve of lies, and are liars themselves.
Most pundit comments about the MSG rally suggest that Trump's campaign management senses the base might need a little shoring up, and lumping all black and brown Americans together makes it actually seem like immigrants are all over the place everywhere, and telling vulgar jokes, like a lot of bigots do when they think they're in the company of other bigots, deliberately offensive, insulting and crude, including some off color sexual innuendo, is just a lighthearted way to address the "problem." And, of course, there's that idea Trump has in his head that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any votes. When he says that, he is showing what contempt he has for every one who supports him, that they have no conscience and no ability to think critically. He's laughing up his sleeve at the ignorance of his own supporters on which he is depending to win him votes.
