In an interview today with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Donald Trump urged evangelical voters to back his candidacy in order to save religious liberty, the Second Amendment and Christmas from Hillary Clinton.
“We’re going to all be saying Merry Christmas again,” Trump said. “The truth is, religious liberty is under tremendous stress. The Second Amendment is under stress. If Hillary Clinton gets in, you’re not going to have religious liberty, you’re not going to have Second Amendment.”
Trump added that evangelical voters guaranteed President Obama’s re-election by failing to turn out in 2012, a dubious claim.
“Had they voted four years ago, and they didn’t, you would’ve had a different result in the election instead of having Obama, who has been catastrophic for evangelicals and a lot of the things that we stand for,” he said.
