Pastor Robert Jeffress: Christians Who Don’t Support Trump Are Like Germans Who Didn’t Fight The Nazis

The Dallas Observer reports:

Robert Jeffress made perhaps his strongest statements yet in defense of President Donald Trump. Wednesday morning, Jeffress made one of his frequent appearances on conservative radio personality Todd Starnes’ show to talk about the biggest threat facing America today — the vanishingly small number of white evangelicals who refuse to support the president.

Christians who don’t support Trump, Jeffress goes on to argue, are complicit with a regime of death in the same way some German Christians were complicit in the Holocaust.

“We cannot afford to be like German Christians who, in the rise of the evil reign of Adolf Hitler, just remained neutered. They remained silent. And you saw what happened there,” Jeffress said. “I think there’s a similar wave of godlessness that is rising in our country right now and we must push back against that tide.”
