White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told a Christian television station Wednesday that God “wanted Donald Trump to become president” so he could support “a lot of the things that people of faith really care about.”The early, abbreviated transcript provided by the conservative evangelical station CBN, the Christian Broadcasting Network, didn’t include specifics from Sanders. Sanders replied: “I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times, and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president and that’s why he’s there. Fifty-six percent of all Americans said they would definitely not support Trump if he were the GOP nominee again, the poll found. He cited no specific examples, according to the transcript provided by CBN, and then asked Sanders whether the White House is “concerned.”Sanders didn’t name any specific lawmakers or comments. https://t.co/MT5QG5hDne — Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) January 30, 2019If you're outraged by @PressSec saying God wanted Trump to be President, you lack a basic understanding of scripture.
