It’s all about the Supreme Court for Donald Trump’s court evangelicals. Everything else, including nearly 200,000 dead from a pandemic, is just “background noise.” Here is NBC News reporter Peter Alexander.
One of Trump’s evangelical advisors, Pastor Robert Jeffress, tells me “any one of the top (Supreme Court) contenders would be seen as a vast improvement over Justice Ginsburg.”

So much for being pro-life. For Jeffress, COVID-19 is simply a political inconvenience. Of course Jeffress’s political savior, Donald Trump, believes the same thing.
UPDATE: I misses this tweet:
The Ginsburg court vacancy could not have come at a more opportune time for President @realDonaldTrump. Suddenly COVID and Woodward are nothing but background noise.
