Strange bedfellows: Donald Trump and the Christian right
On Monday – the day before Donald Trump said he was to be indicted by a New York State grand jury – I watched as a large pick-up truck barrelled its way through the narrow streets of the historic old town in Key West, Fla. It drove past the Ernest Hemingway museum, where fans were lined up to see the home where the author wrote his masterpieces, and where they might possibly have an encounter with descendants of his six-toed cat.
The alleged extramarital contact with Ms. Daniels – which Mr. Trump denies – is not the actual issue. The potential indictment is concerned with what happened long afterward. The money was paid by Mr. Cohen, who has said that he did this at Mr. Trump’s direction, and that he was later reimbursed by Mr. Trump; the payments were logged as legal expenses.
Would they still have held their noses and voted for Mr. Trump, knowing that a Republican president could give them the Supreme Court they needed to overturn Roe v. Wade? How hard can a Christian hold their nose? And for how long?
