Nearly 100 evangelical leaders have signed onto a letter urging their fellow Christians to vote against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who, they write, “has fueled white American nationalism with xenophobic appeals and religious intolerance at the expense of gospel values, democratic principles, and important international relationships.”

The letter was posted to Change.org on Thursday, and had nearly 5,000 signatures by midday Friday.

The evangelicals behind the letter do not necessarily endorse Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, they write ― but they are united in their opposition to Trump, who is working to maintain the Republican stronghold on the evangelical community.

Racism is America’s original sin. Its brazen use to win elections threatens to reverse real progress on racial equity and set America back.

Which is why I could never in good conscience vote for a Democrat. Their racism knows no bounds, and to use the propagation of racism to get elected threatens to reverse real progress on racial equality.

If the media wants to focus on the racism of the presidential candidates, why are they ignoring these 10 prime examples:

#1 – In 1974, after Bill Clinton lost his bid for a Senate seat, Hillary lashed out at campaign manager Paul Fray calling him a, “f*cking Jew bastard!” This outburst was witnessed and confirmed by 3 people, so it definitely happened.

#2 – As First Lady, Hillary called young black men “super-predators” indicating that she thought all young black males were violent criminals. She also said, “We have to bring them to heel,” like young blacks are the same as dogs. Despite thinking this was incredibly racist, blacks still support Hillary.

#3 – While serving in the US Senate, Hillary tried to make a joke that disparaged a civil rights icon and demeaned all people from India. “I love this quote. It’s from Mahatma Gandhi. He ran a gas station down in St. Louis for a couple of years. Mr. Gandhi, do you still go to the gas station?” asked Clinton.

#4 – In 2005 Hillary said, “I am adamantly against illegal immigrants.” She also, as a Senator, voted to construct a wall between the US and Mexico. Considering the main “proof” of Trump’s racism is that he opposes illegal immigration and wants to build a wall, isn’t it odd that Hillary gets off for having said the same thing?

#5 – During the 2008 democratic primaries Hillary Clinton’s campaign started the “birther” rumors, questioning Obama’s US citizenship. They even circulated the now famous picture of Obama in full Muslim garb. Somehow Trump’s campaign to get Obama to release his birth certificate is racist, but Hillary’s role in starting the birther movement is not.

#6 – Also during the 2008 presidential race, Hillary’s husband Bill said this of Obama: “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.” Hillary didn’t say this one but her husband did and she certainly never disavowed it.

#7 – Shortly after announcing her candidacy, Hillary said “all lives matter” in a black church. I don’t think this one is racist, but lefties, black activists, and Hillary herself all do, so it makes the list. Plus as is the case with most of this stuff, if Trump had said it liberals would freak the hell out.

#8 – In November of 2015, Hillary called people in this country illegally “illegal aliens.” Trump is a racist when he says “illegal aliens,” why isn’t Hillary?

#9 – In April of this year, Hillary joined NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio on stage at a democratic fundraiser for a scripted joke about how lazy black people are. The two liberals made reference to “colored people’s time” which is a super-racist way of saying black people are chronically tardy and lethargic.

#10 – April was a great month for Hillary’s racism, as she also made a comment disparaging Native Americans. She said she had experience dealing with wild men when they “get off the reservation.” In essence she said Native Americans are savages who must be segregated from the rest of society.

I saw this earlier today. I did not recognize most of the names on there, and those I did I would consider liberal evangelicals. But with this election conservative evangelicals have given away all moral high ground. As per the norm, the only response has been, Hilary is bad too, which would work if there were people telling me that I have some kind of moral obligation to vote for her, but I don't. I already know she is bad, but what I fail to see is how Trump is any better, and the more I'm told I'm told I must surrender all moral high ground to vote for him, the less inclined I will be to do so. It is a sad day in Christendom when loyalty to the Republican party is deemed a greater virtue than Biblical values, and worth sacrificing those values for.

Just sounds like another group of closet liberals trying to play the propaganda racism card. I have little use for anyone who calls themselves "Evangelicals" if they are dimwitted-ly or otherwise purposefully on an agenda which supports the Progressive Movement against the opposition to it...

Do you, as a Christian, want to be lumped with the immorality of Trump? How would that affect your witness?

CTB, there's just a lot of Christians who feel that stopping Hillary Clinton is much more important than is having a right Christian witness upon which the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ may be shared.

That's why I've said repeatedly that it's idolatry. Some Christians made abortion into idolatry and now some have managed to make support of Trump and winning this election into idolatry.
