AN 10 26 MEH
While evangelical megachurch pastor and longtime President Donald Trump ally Robert Jeffress has been diehard about MAGA since the movement’s earliest days, in an interview published by the New York Times on Sunday, his comments revealed a surprisingly shrugging stance regarding the upcoming midterms in his home state of Texas. Should a member of his congregation decide to vote for Democratic Senate challenger James Talarico, it’s “fine.”
“I talked to Pastor Robert Jeffress about the Paxton/Talarico race,” wrote Times columnist David French, referring to the Senate race between Talarico and Texas Attorney Ken Paxton, who won the nomination under Trump’s endorsement but is polling behind the Democratic opponent in the general election due to a string of scandals. “He had tough words for Talarico, but he also emphasized individual conscience. So I asked the natural follow-up: What if a church member says, ‘My conscience is telling me Talarico’? His answer was a welcome departure from the ‘my way or hell's way’ rhetoric you see from all too many right-wing Christians on this site.”
“Follow what you feel like God’s leading you to do,” Jeffress responded. “Period. I wouldn’t hesitate to tell them why I’m not voting that way and made sure they were aware of some of the statements he had made about Jesus and the Bible, but if they say, you know, ‘I just can’t overlook the other. This is the way I’m going’? I’d say, ‘Fine, I’ll see you in church next Sunday.’”
This is a decided tone shift for Jeffress, who has previously declared of his ideal candidate, "I don't want some meek and mild leader or somebody who's going to turn the other cheek... I want the meanest, toughest SOB I can find." In the past, while discussing Trump’s scandals, the pastor has handwaved allegations of sexual assault and fraud, saying that evangelicals didn’t need to approve of his “lifestyle” to support his politics. Evangelicals, said Jeffress, were just being “pragmatic.” Trump took 80 percent of the evangelical vote in all three of his elections, but that support has waned over the course of his second term. By January 2026, his approval was down to 69 percent due largely to the overreaches of his mass deportation effort and failure to bring down prices. Then his beef with the Pope dragged his approval down further, which slid further still over the course of the war with Iran as the economy has suffered. As of June 2026, evangelical support for Trump stood around 50 percent.
Now, with the midterms just around the corner, many Texas Republicans are struggling with the idea of voting for Paxton, who brings the corruption and philandering of Trump with none of the charisma. Polls show Talarico firmly ahead, with even Fox News admitting his lead. If he wins, he’ll be the first Democrat Texas elected to the Senate since 1988. Jeffress's words may suggest which way the state is headed. As one commenter put it, “Y’all realize how bad of a Republican candidate you have to be for Robert Jeffress to say this?”

on Fox News on Sunday, Robert Jeffress — one of President Donald Trump’s far-right white evangelical sycophants — asserted that Trump’s impeachment could cause “a Civil War-like fracture” in the United States. Trump repeated Jeffress’ assertion on Twitter — and got an angry response from a fellow Republican: Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.
Jeffress, pastor at the First Baptist Church in Dallas, is a prominent figure on the Christian Right. And during his Sunday appearance on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” Jeffress insisted to co-hosts Pete Hegseth and Jedediah Bila that Trump has done nothing to deserve impeachment and attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for supporting an impeachment inquiry — stressing, “I do want to make this prediction this morning: if the Democrats are successful in removing the president from office, I’m afraid it will cause a Civil War-like fracture in this nation from which this country will never heal.”
On Twitter, Trump quoted Jeffress and zeroed right in on the Civil War

evangelical pastor, Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas, gave an opening prayer at the embassy building’s dedication ceremony in May. His presence made many Israelis uncomfortable; he has said Jews, Muslims and Mormons are bound for hell. In 2017, during a conference call of Mr. Trump’s top evangelical supporters, Mr. Jeffress led a prayer for the protection of Mr. Pompeo, then C.I.A. director, and thanked God for putting him in the job.

RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM By DAVID BADASHAPRIL 18, 201811:03 AM
‘God Is a Capitalist’: Preacher Holding Trump Cabinet Weekly Bible Studies Promotes Christian Extremism
"THE GOVERNMENT’S JOB IS TO 'QUELL EVIL'." "ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS HAVE NO 'BIBLICAL AUTHORITY'."
Ralph Drollinger's own ministry declared him "not biblically qualified for spiritual leadership." And yet, he leads the Trump Cabinet's weekly Bible study group, organized by Vice President Pence and faithfully attended by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, among others.
Right Wing Watch's Peter Montgomery on Thursday reports "Drollinger’s Capitol Ministries is dedicated to teaching public officials a very conservative take on the Bible. Drollinger teaches that 'the absolutely critical preeminent duty of the Church in an institutionally separated society' is 'to convert the soul and disciple—Christianize—the leaders of the State and its citizenry.'"
Montgomery reveals some of the positions Drollinger is teaching his disciples in the Trump White House. Direct from Right Wing Watch:
the government’s job is to “quell evil”
governments and leaders “must send a constant message that sin will be punished”
entitlement programs have no “biblical authority”
liberal Christians aren’t really Christians, they’re “simpletons”
Catholicism is “one of the primary false religions in the world”
“Radical environmentalism” is a “false religion”
“God only hears the prayers of leaders and citizens who are upright, who live righteously through faith in Jesus Christ”
“God is a capitalist” and because of excessive environmental regulations in the U.S. “the economic benefits God intends from private property ownership have been greatly diminished”
“righteous” people with government positions should not “compromise Biblical absolutes” and should hire only other “righteous” people
Secretary Rick Perry earlier this year explained the weekly meetings:
Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump,and Vice President Mike Pence will host a huge event honoring the contributions made by Evangelical Christians. One reporter from a far right wing Christian news organization is comparing it to a state dinner. It is being billed as a dinner "celebrating evangelical leadership."
About 100 Evangelical Christians are expected to attend. Among them, a large number of Cabinet members, and other top Trump administration officials. The White House has not released a list of invited guests, nor any agenda.
"Looking forward to celebrating with President Trump and the First Lady his unprecedented accomplishments in less than two years,"Fox News pundit and right wing pastor Robert Jeffresstells David Brody at Pat Robertson's CBN News.
"President Trump is the most pro-life, pro-religious liberty, and pro-conservative judiciary president in history which is why evangelicals continue to support him enthusiastically," Jeffress, a top member of Trump's Evangelical advisory board, added.
The Texas pastor notably has labeled the Mormon faith a "cult." Catholics he says were led astray by "Satan." He also says Islam is an "evil religion." And he has repeatedly attacked LGBT people, calling homosexuality dirty and linking it to disease, pedophilia, alcoholism, depression, and suicide.
President Trump's Cabinet holds weekly Bible study meetings led by a pastor who was deemed "not biblically qualified for spiritual leadership" by his own congregation. Among its regular attendees are Vice President Mike Pence, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
