Fox News pundit Todd Starnes is absolutely flabbergasted that some conservative Christian commentators such as Southern Baptist Convention official Russell Moore are questioning Donald Trump’s Christian faith, largely over Trump’s claim that he has never repented for anything or asked God for forgiveness.
Trump, who has questioned the faith of Ben Carson and Ted Cruz, has also raised eyebrows over his pronunciation of “2 Corinthians” and claim that Christians need to “get even” with their enemies.
Starnes jumped to the GOP presidential frontrunner’s defense, using his daily bulletin to criticize Christian leaders “who are attacking Donald Trump” and deriding them as “modern day Pharisees” who are “casting judgment” and conducting “a theological witch hunt.”
