Trump questions Clinton’s Christian faith among evangelicals
US Republican presumed nominee Donald Trump is questioning his Democratic rival’s Christian faith, saying nothing is known about Hillary Clinton “in terms of religion.”
The real estate mogul made the comments while addressing a closed-door gathering of top social conservative evangelical Christian leaders in New York City on Tuesday.
E.W. Webb, one of the leaders present in the event, posted a video on Twitter showing parts of Trump’s remarks.
“We don't know anything about Hillary in terms of religion,” said the billionaire, campaigning for the 2016 presidential election. “Now, she's been in the public eye for years and years, and yet there's no — there's nothing out there… There's like nothing out there. It's going to be an extension of Obama but it's going to be worse, because with Obama you had your guard up. With Hillary you don't, and it's going to be worse.”
The former secretary of state, however, does not frequently comment about her religion in public events.
Trump further told the evangelicals that it is good to pray for everyone but not for the leaders who are “selling the evangelicals down the tubes.”
“People were saying, some of the people were saying, 'Let's pray for our leaders,'” Trump said. “I said, 'Well, you can pray for your leaders' — and I agree with that, pray for everyone — but what you really have to do is pray to get everybody out to vote for one specific person.”
