asked god for forgiveness. i m glad you re quoting the bible. that s between him and god. the issue for me and millions of evangelicals is his policies. he supports the kind of policies we think are important. he has become a champion of religious rights of helping persecuted christians. i could go down the line. and neil gorsuch appointment was huge. those are the policies. he s done more to keep his promises than any other president. i understand. i hear you. that one does make sense. isn t that a little bit like saying, gosh, i really like harvey weinstein s movies so i m going to overlook what i know to be true and support him and give him money for his movies? look, there was an election between two people. the other person was hillary clinton. in my opinion, one of the most corrupt people to ever run for president.
his affairs it was him lying about it. i remember. i remember too. i was there. the reality is when the president breaks a law, that s a big deal. so the situation that we re dealing with with the president and the investigation in russia. i mean, what seems to be where this is heading is what does the president do after the fact and did he potentially do something that was harmful, not what was the underlying offense. actually how you deal with the investigation is in fact, important and telling the truth to the fbi is something we ll see what happens here. this president is studiously avoiding to this point any kind of reckoning of the facts. but still, character either counts or it doesn t. let s be very clear about this. i have been covering this stormy daniels s story. from a very definite perspective, the legalities create exposure that we have to monitor and watch.

to make things worse rather than better as we move ahead. russia made really bad mistakes. we need to find a way to stop that. we need to use that as a way to open up a set of activities that can begin to resolve our other problems with russia. they are resolvable, chris, not something that has been cast in concrete never to be resolved. understood things can always change. yeah. are you confused by the president s disposition towards vladimir putin. not this man. no matter what he does, even if he shows a video aiming missiles at florida, the president is often asleep. i think the president in his own way, for reasons we don t fully understand but may come out later in the wash, is so to speak, as we watch this, has had a clearly soft spot in his heart
star and former playboy playma playmate. despite those issues and other character issues, evangelical voters support the president in huge numbers. to help us understand why is the author of god and donald trump and founder on charisma magazine. good morning, stephen. good morning, alisyn. how are you doing? i m doing well. explain to us again how it is that evangelicals are willing to overlook these reports of infidelity and other things to support president trump. you know, that s easy for me. donald trump has had a reputation as a playboy going back to the 80s. i didn t support donald trump for a long time because i didn t approve of what i knew as his lifestyle. so what changed? well, i think he changed. i really do. and i talk about this in my book, god and donald trump. i interviewed in 2016 and
