A thread by Andy Rowell
Transcript “I got a call the other night from pastors, the biggest pastors, evangelical Christians. They said, 'we have never seen our religion or any religion so electrified.' They say they’ve never seen anything like it. Churches are joining … hundreds of thousands of people."
Transcript continued:
"And that's largely because of you [the media] and your partners, the Democrats.”
This is revolting. And, he's been taught to talk this way by the Republican evangelical insiders.

Trump is likely drawing on the words of Robert Jeffress (and Jerry Falwell Jr. and Franklin Graham who are not pastors) that the evangelical base is united behind him to falsely claim hundreds of thousands "are joining": a. churches or b. his base. It is unclear which.

Nope and nope.
– Probably Robert Jeffress just told Trump about the applause at the National Quartet Convention in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on Sept 26, 2019.
– In the Oct 9 Fox News poll, 28% of white evangelicals say they want Trump impeached and removed.
