donald trump has assembled a wide range of supporters at the rnc and some of the most vocal evangelicals yes he's a casino owner who's had three different wives but the conservative christians know a devout man when they see one go he represents the godly people of the united states of america do you think he's always acted like a good christian absolutely yeah how can you build that kind of empire if you're not praying to god for good things every day the man for this time in history and god wi
ll use him and i don't know that he's going to even be aware of how god is going to use him you don't think he even knows what his relationship with god is absolutely i think that they seemed convinced but i was still struggling to see how this man reflected the teachings of the good book what do you think about the idea of loving thy neighbor uh you don't want somebody living next door to you that's going to sneak over and murder you in your sleep who's going to do that but then i saw a man who
could convince even the most skeptical of the depth of trump's faith we are electing a man in donald trump who believes in the name of jesus christ pastor mark burns shout amen that's the guy i needed to talk to the man who gave the benediction on the opening night of the rnc i believe donald trump without question loves god he believes in the one true god he believes jesus christ is his lord and savior he believes that uh marriage is between one man and one woman he believes that what he belie
ves marriage is between one man and one woman who does donald trump believes one marriage is between one man and one woman he also until a younger woman comes along no no no no no no no no no no no one man and one czech one slovenian and one american right so your point is this one man one woman thing i ran the numbers they don't check out okay so he stumbled a few times on his path towards righteousness but surely he embodies the most basic christian ideal of helping those in need jesus said bl
essed are the poor for they will inherit the kingdom of heaven he did right donald trump said i've watched politicians bragging about how poor they are how poor their parents and grandparents were and i said to myself if they can stay so poor for so many generations how smart can they be they're morons donald trump is not the pastor of the united states of america he's accepted jesus christ as his savior is he a seminarian student can he execute the scriptures i don't think so you know who has r
un a bible study i'll give you a hint it rhymes with hillary clinton bill clinton yes runs a bible study she did when she was first lady of arkansas well you know i can't speak to hillary clinton's relationship with god i know she's really good at pandering out to black churches singing whatever amazing grace songs she can come up with for that moment do you think donald trump knows the words to amazing grace well again i think it'd be more like tremendous grace how fantastic the sound could sav
e a pretty good guy like me i once was lost although you know what i was never lost i was born with an impeccable sense of direction when it comes to trump's views on the poor and marriage christians are willing to turn the other cheek in attitude they extend to all god's children well almost all i think that when hillary clinton calls donald trump a person that does disrespects women for a woman herself to allow her husband to disrespect her uh i think that's horrible you're holding that to hil
lary what we sow is what we receive so what's worse hillary allowing bill to cheat or donald trump cheating well i want to i want to be clear you know what to do anything bill is his own man but you're connecting his actions to hillary but because he is hillary clinton's husband but you're not connecting donald trump's actions to donald trump i believe donald trump just like any of us when we fall we faltered or sinned i see christians love to forgive and donald trump allows them to practice for
giveness in truly biblical proportions amen you

damn this pastor is just embarrassing himself.

@SusanP99

I never get tired of watching this. J. Klepper is a genius.

@c.w.9501

A short story: Me: "I can't vote for Trump. He has done too many horrible things." My dad: "That's not what I look to a President for. I don't care if he sins as long as he leads well." Me: "That's not what you said when Bill Clinton did it." And then the fight started.

@stephentresca3536

This guy is a genius. He left that Pastor speechless.

@wallygoots

Your interview with Mark Burns is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. "This one man, one woman.... I ran the numbers; it doesn't check out."

@oluapingo

I have watched the "interview" with the pastor dozens of times and I still laugh my pants off.

@michaelnieves5912

I'm glad someone is calling out these fake Christians.

@therealgaragegirls

I just love how he constantly lets them trip up themselves with their own words. 😂🤣

@MsMars.

It is amazing how quick Jordan Klepper is on his feet to call out B.S. the second he hears it. He had that pastor stunned and sweatin' in the pits in that interview.

@archangelazrael4721

Maria Shriver best said "We the people deserve so much better. We deserve leaders with integrity, with honor, who put public service above all else"

@xxavierlavell2180

"I once was lost ..you know what I was never lost. I was born with an impeccable sense of direction." 😆😆

@ValerieJean-fo6lc

Jordan is quick on the draw. Love him. ❤😂

@Leonaza7

Unfortunately this proves that we don't spend nearly enough money on education in this country

@jameskinion5670

Absolutely bone-chillingly frightening.

@briangill23

Jordan and this pastor need their own podcast together, just Jordan asking basic questions and the pastor blatantly revealing the double standards and hypocrisy of how people think (or don’t rather)

@paulkearney4565

I really shouldn't laugh, but I watch this piece over and over, it's absolutely the most brilliant piece of real journalism I've ever seen, and I say that as a devout Irish Christian 🙏🤣

@raiboy79

This is just brilliant. So many people should watch it, though it seems like it would go over a lot of people's heads... those people being the ones that really need to SEE this.

@hesleyross4605

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS. PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!!!!!

@taraaliyeva1813

That Pastor is why young people are RUNNING AWAY from religion. 😷

@paulocarv4403

I've lost count of how many times I have watched this. It's so insanely entertaining. I love Republicans! Who else would make us laugh so much? 🙂
