Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump's spiritual adviser Paula White defended herself on Sunday against criticism over a prayer she made earlier this month in which she asked for "all satanic pregnancies to miscarry right now," saying her words were taken "out of context for political gain." In a pair of tweets, White shared a clip of her January 5 sermon before congregants at her City of Destiny church in Apopka, Florida. In the clip, posted to Twitter by Right Wing Watch, a group that "monitors and exposes the activities of Radical Right political organizations," the pastor shakes her arms as she delivers the prayer. "In the name of Jesus, we command all satanic pregnancies to miscarry right now," she prays. White, who leads the White House's Faith and Opportunity Initiative, defended the prayer in the tweets, writing that she doesn't usually issue such responses, but that the prayer had been "taken out of context."
