Ex-evangelist rips Christians who have 'failed their faith' by defending sex abusers in Trump White House
former Christian evangelist Frank Schaeffer jumped on the controversy over two White House staffers who have been dismissed over domestic assault accusations, saying evangelicals who continue to defend President Donald Trump and his administration have failed as Christians.
Speaking with host Joy Reid, the son of a famous Christian leader - who has become a major critic of the political turn Christians have taken in allying themselves with the Republican Party - said the latest revelations should be a "test" for Christians.
"We saw Donald Trump's defense of Roy Moore. Steve Wynn who has been multiply accused of abuse and sexual harassment, 'we have to give him a chance,'" Reid began by quoting the president. "What do you make that he's doubling down on his support for former aide Rob Porter?"
