Religious leaders hit for endorsing Trump, overlooking his 'sins'

Two top religious figures, Jerry Falwell Jr. and Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffress, are under fire from a former House GOP and faith leader for giving Donald Trump their blessing and overlooking his “sins” of racism and sexism.

Former Rep. J.C. Watts, whose legislation created former President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative, told the Examiner, “I’m just having a hard time reconciling in my mind how you can jump over a Ted Cruz, a Ben Carson, a Rand Paul, a Jeb Bush, a John Kasich, a Mike Huckabee, a Rick Santorum, and the other presidential Republican candidates to get to a Donald Trump.”
