Iowa Evangelical Leader: Trump’s Biggest Hurdle Is Nobody Wants Their Kid To Grow Up To Be Like Him

“The No. 1 hurdle for Donald Trump is I’ve never met a dad or a mom or a grandpa or a grandma who have told me they want their son or daughter, grandchild to grow up to be like him. That’s a big deal.

“And then because I don’t endorse you, to throw me under the bus, my family under the bus, as well as our ministry under the bus because we don’t bow the knee to you, that tells me more than ever [that] this party and this country needs to choose well about who’s going to be representing us as president.

“Trump deserved to lose my endorsement. Matter of fact, I’ve never endorsed him. But he proved he was not worthy of the endorsement of me, of the ministry, and by extension, the broader body.

“And I believe Iowa will rise up. I believe I will send a message on January 15th because I think they’re seeing it through this as well. This is smoke and mirrors. This is not leadership our country needs.” – Iowa hate group and evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats, speaking on the show of far-right extremist Steve Deace.

My endorsement NEVER has been and NEVER will be for sale.

Thanks to @SteveDeaceShow for giving me opportunity to address this baseless accusation.

To be clear, my decision is not against @realDonaldTrump, it is for the future of our country. #ChooseWell2024 pic.twitter.com/YfVIKLdInN
