The legacy of evangelicals will be Donald Trump. They were the first ones to platform him

So I found this old YouTube video. Itā€™s CBN interviewing Trump, the late Pat Robertsonā€™s pet project. You want to know when this interview was done?

2011

When all the other ā€œfake newsā€ media outlets wouldnā€™t give him the time of day, CBN did. And from CBN thatā€™s where Trumpā€™s transformation really began. Watch the video itā€™s stunning how little he knows about Christianity. His meandering around the tough questions. Not a lot has changed in 13 years.

More than anything this short video to me summarizes the legacy of Evangelical Christianity in my life. Simultaneously rigid in their beliefs and yet malleable to what they want to hear.

Hell of a legacy.

The Bible is a very important bookā€¦. I would say itā€™s THE book, actually.

Q: ā€œLots of people send you bibles, is that right?ā€

ā€œā€¦ I get sent lots of bibles, yes. I donā€™t.. we keep them, actually. They are in a certain place, a very good place. I would have a fear of doing anything not very good to a Bible, so of course we keep them. All of them. I would never do anything not very positive with them.

ā€œI go to church, always on Christmas, always on Easter. On special occasions. And during the weekā€¦ I go.. Iā€™m a Sunday church person, myself.ā€
