Accompanying the definition of Hypocrite in the dictionary, there oughta be a picture of a Bible Belt ‘Christian, wearing a MAGA hat.

When allegations about President Bill Clinton’s infidelity emerged in 1998, the Southern Baptist Convention, America’s largest evangelical denomination, passed a resolution declaring that “moral character matters” for public officials. Back then, the SBC urged Americans to vote for candidates who “demonstrate consistent honesty, moral purity and the highest character.”

Two decades later, the fact that most white evangelical Christians are willing to overlook President Donald Trump’s infidelity, his dishonesty, his disparaging rhetoric toward immigrants and refugees, his support from Russia and the multiple accusations of sexual misconduct lodged against him suggests that their views on morality have changed dramatically, OR, they’re just plain hypocrites, depending on the political party of the ‘sinner’.
