Speaking on Fox News, the Dallas, Texas pastor responded to critics that have called evangelical supporters of the president “hypocrites” since Stormy Daniels’ allegations came to light.
“Well, it’s absolutely ludicrous,” Jeffress said to host Martha MacCallum.
“Evangelicals know they’re not compromising their beliefs in order to support this great president.
“And let’s be clear – evangelicals still believe in the commandment ‘thou shalt not have sex with a porn-star’… however, whether this president violated this commandment or not is totally irrelevant to our support of his for two quick reasons.
“First of all evangelicals knew they weren’t voting for an altar boy when they voted for Donald Trump. We supported him because of his policies and his strong leadership.
“Secondly… evangelicals understand the concept of sin and forgiveness. Look, we are all sinners, we all need forgiveness – that forgiveness is available through Christ for anyone that asks. Whether the president needs that forgiveness for this particular allegation, whether he’s asked for it is between him, his family and his God.”
