Journalist tells Bill Maher evangelicals see Trump as their 'barbarian' 'protector'
Raw StoryA journalist and author told comedian Bill Maher on Friday night that "clear-eyed" evangelicals view former President Donald Trump as an "imperfect" protector from a "culture that has slipped away and a country they don't recognize." Maher said he was glad to have Alberta on the show to talk about the key voting subgroup of evangelicals, noting that white evangelicals "break huge" for Trump at more than 80 percent. The comedian cracked a joke about how he could ask why the group supports "the least religious" and "most immoral" man in the world, but said he'd rather know if evangelicals see a "bigger picture" than the left sees in Trump. Alberta said it resembles a mercenary relationship, as Trump's "bad behavior almost reinforces their support," as a good Christian man wouldn't be as capable of protecting them as Trump.
