Televangelist Paula White, President Trump’s spiritual adviser, is reportedly joining the White House staff.
White, who has known Trump since 2002 and who has visited the White House several times, will work in the Office of Public Liaison, which oversees outreach to groups that help organize parts of the president’s base, The New York Times reports.
Her specific role will reportedly be advising the Trump administration’s Faith and Opportunity Initiative that aims to boost the voice of religious groups in certain government programs, The Times notes.
The Times notes that the move comes as Trump looks to maintain support from religious conservatives in the months leading up to the 2020 presidential election.
But while Trump has taken actions — including executive orders, cabinet appointments and judicial nominations — evangelicals Christians approve of, White is a controversial figure, meaning her appointment will likely become another source of contention among this group, The Times notes.

I don’t need to point out the obvious to even Trump’s most dedicated evangelical supporters: this declaration is heresy and it undermines Jesus Christ’s teachings.

So this phony preacher will be working in the White House to “organize his base” — meaning she will be working on Trump’s re-election campaign. Are we taxpayers paying for her too?
