Ok this justifications for Trump’s lewd comments are reaching the absurd. Trump’s campaign co-chair is now saying that these disgusting comments occurred before Trump’s recent faith journey or something:
CNN – Sam Clovis, the co-chair for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, said on Tuesday that Trump’s 2005 comments about forcing himself on women came before he “revitalized” his Christian faith.
“Those of us that have gotten to know him know the journey that he has been on to his faith,” Clovis said on The Mike Gallagher Show. “And I think that this was one of those episodes that occurred at a time in his life before he had a turned the corner on this. I think he’s, as I think Jerry Falwell has said and James Dobson and others have commented on the fact that he is a new Christian.”
Clovis continued, “This is a person who has revitalized his faith over just recent years. And for many of us who have been on a faith journey for a long time, we all understand this. We all understand how this evolves and I think that’s why evangelicals are sticking with him regardless of the gutter talk that took place on that set.”
I think the only people who believe Trump is a Christian are those who live in the Trump bubble. Trump is as much now the man he was in 2005 and I totally think he still talks like that in the locker room at Trump Towers.
To address Gallagher’s question of what more do people want Trump to say about his lewd comments, I think most just wanted to hear Trump give a sincere apology, not one like he gave that reeked of political expediency.
