Former President Trump says he will defend Christianity and religious liberty if he wins the White House in November. On Thursday, he addressed the National Religious Broadcasters convention where his words were met with enthusiasm.
This year marks the 80th anniversary for NRB, which Trump noted in his speech.
“This great organization has helped spread the word of God, the love of Christ, the stories of the holy Bible, and the voices of famed evangelical people and evangelists like the late, great Pat Robertson, who was a great gentleman. I got to know him very well. Great evangelist. And, of course, the legendary Billy Graham. How good was Billy Graham, right?” said Trump.
CBN White House Correspondent Abigail Robertson was on the ground in Nashville for the gathering.
“President Trump’s speech marks the sixth time a former or sitting president has addressed the NRB,” she reported. “President Biden and GOP primary candidate Nikki Haley were also invited to speak, but declined.”
In his speech, Trump touted the accomplishments of his first administration, including his record on abortion, Israel, the Supreme Court and judges, and religious liberty.
“And I will fight even harder for Christians with four more years in the White House,” said Trump. “We did things that, the likes of which nobody has ever done for Christians in this country. And I’m very proud of that and honored by it. Just think of what, with God’s help, we already achieved in our historic first term.”
