MAGAs Go Insane After Black Pastor Tells Southern Baptists They’ve Become ‘Whores For Trump’

A Black Pastor started quite the ruckus when he spoke the truth and his fellow Southern Baptists did not like what he had to say. The fur started flying when Kevin Smith, a  pastor at Family Church in West Palm Beach, Florida, spoke during the Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting, which was held in Anaheim, California.

According to Raw Story, Smith, who is also the former Executive Director of the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware, asserted that ministers had “lost their mind” when Barack Obama was re-elected president in 2012 (after being elected in 2008, of course) and then shamed themselves by supporting Donald Trump, according to Protestia, a right-wing religious site.

“I think some Southern Baptists lost their minds when a Black man was elected President — not all, but some,” Smith told the audience. “I think some Southern Baptists were unloving to Black people beginning in 2012 with the killing of Trayvon Martin.”

“I don’t mean agree about politics or policy … I just mean giving a darn that somebody else is hurting who is supposed to be your brother or sister in Christ, and I think some Southern Baptists just bent over and became political whores with this whole Trump stuff,” Smith said.

Protestia, which is associated with the Fellowship Baptist Church in Montana, went postal, firing fusillades of nasty remarks at Smith. Some religious right-wing Trump supporters have paper-thin feelings and this was more than evident here.

“As far as becoming political whores and bending over so the bad orange man could impregnate us with racial ideologies, this is not the winsomeness that he was insisting we emulate during his later conference talk that he gave in front of the whole convention, making him quite the hypocrite,” Protestia writes. The unnamed “staff writer” was quite obviously in a huff.

Other pastors were also quite huffy, with more than a few taking to Twitter to vent and even in some cases, “repent.”

Repent for what? The links I’m providing here show just how the SBC went over big for Trump.

For some of these church leaders it’s almost as if Trump said “bend over,” and they said, “how far?”

It’s no wonder they’re in a snit over Smith’s remarks.
