Trump evangelicals respond to his impeachment acquittal

John Fea   |  February 13, 2021

If Mitch McConnell is right, the Democratic House managers proved that Donald Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors. The former president survived his impeachment trial because forty-three senators, all Republicans, voted to acquit. Several of these senators, including Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, James Lankford, Tom Cotton, Tim Scott, Rick Scott, Bill Hagerty, Marsha Blacburn, James Inhofe, John Thune, and Marco Rubio, are evangelical Christians.

Here is what some of Trump’s former court evangelicals are saying about the decision.

Liberty University’s Falkirk Center co-founder Charlie Kirk:

Acquitted. Again. What a waste of time.

Maybe now Democrats can actually try and do something useful for the American people for once?

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) February 13, 2021

Democrats don't care that they presented tampered evidence.

Democrats don't care that they presented deceptively edited videos.

Democrats don't care that they presented outright lies on the Senate floor.

These Democrats don't care about anything other than destroying Trump.

Another Liberty University Falkirk Center fellow Jenna Ellis has also weighed-in:

For 57 of them, yes it was political. https://t.co/CAuV1q8XK0

Literally what everyone is thinking right now. What a gross political opportunist.

— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) February 13, 2021

Burrs. Making bad decisions since 1804.

In this video, Lance Wallnau responds to the acquittal news. He trashes the seven Republican senators who voted to convict. The acquittal, according to Wallnau, is an answer to prayer.

Here is what some of Wallnau’s followers said in the comments:

  • Kim clement said impeach impeach but it never occurred to me until yesterday that he had said it twice and they had tried to twice. But GOD said nay. Praise God!
  • Watch out dems, he’s coming back! And God is on his side!

I wonder if Ralph Reed still believes Mitch McConnell displayed “good judgment” after hearing the Republican leader’s speech today.

Mitch McConnell announces he will vote to acquit President Trump. As per usual, he has displayed good judgment during a difficult & challenging time.

Here is Gary Bauer on his FB page: “The sham impeachment trial ends as we all knew it would — Trump acquitted again.”

Paula White makes sure her followers know which Republicans voted to convict:

President Donald J Trump acquitted 57-43

Republicans who voted guilty:

Richard Burr of North Carolina
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
Susan Collins of Maine
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
Mitt Romney of Utah
Ben Sasse of Nebraska
Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania

“Finally” acquitted:

The US Senate finally acquitted former President Donald J. Trump of all charges. Now that this is over, I hope they will get to work on solving the problems that are facing our country and are important to the lives of most Americans.https://t.co/j1DcIoMfBL
