“MAGA Church,” the first digital video from the Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Trump Republicans, takes aim at President Trump’s standing with evangelical voters —interspersing clips of him talking about faith with videos of him speaking crudely.
Why it matters: Trump has recently taken steps to shore up his evangelical base after an editorial in Christianity Today, a magazine founded by the late Rev. Billy Graham, attacked his “gross immorality and ethical incompetence.”
– His latest move was an “Evangelicals for Trump” event last weekend at one of the largest Latino evangelical churches in Miami.
The state of play: In the video, the group warns evangelicals to “beware of false prophets.”
– “IF THIS IS THE BEST AMERICAN CHRISTIANS CAN DO,” it says, “THEN GOD help us all.”

Evangelical leaders who lay their loyalty and faith on the altar of @realDonaldTrump are betraying their congregants and their country. https://t.co/2n34Y2ftxH
