Hispanics at Miami megachurch rally for Trump

Trump is right to defend the religious liberty of the American people. The free exercise clause of the 1st amendment is meant to protect all religious belief in every aspect of everyone’s life. It is great to see Trump reach out to urban big city Hispanic Christians like he did here.

President Donald Trump kicked off his first rally of the year Friday night by holding an Evangelicals for Trump event at King Jesus International Ministry in Miami, Florida – one of the largest Hispanic churches in the United States.
The president addressed more than 5,000 evangelical Christians at the Miami megachurch , assuring Latinos that he is the only 2020 presidential candidate who is has actively defended the religious freedom of Americans.
“We’re defending religion itself,” Trump told the predominantly Hispanic crowd, according to the Associated Press , noting how Democratic presidential candidates continue to threaten their ability to worship and express their faith. “A society without religion cannot prosper. A nation without faith cannot endure.”
The Republican president seeking a second term hinted that whoever will be running against for president on the Democratic Party’s ticket will do all he or she can to take away the religious protections he fought hard to secure for believers during his three years in the White House.
“We can’t let one of our radical left friends come in here, because everything we’ve done will be gone in short order,” Trump warned thousands of Latinos in Florida – the swing state with the third-most Electoral College votes … behind only California and Texas.
A champion of the faith
Trump reminded the faithful Florida crowd how he has come through on his promises to halt and reverse the secular tide in Washington that swept America during the Obama administration that attacked religious liberty and biblical values like never before.
“The day I was sworn in, the federal government’s war on religion came to an abrupt end,” Trump recounted. “We can smile because we’re winning by so much.”
In addition, the president reminded those at the South Florida rally of his unwavering support of Israel, prison reform, efforts to return prayer to public schools and his historical accomplishment of packing the federal court with an unprecedented number federal judges honoring the Constitution and biblical principles.
"We’ve confirmed 187 unbelievably talented, young, brilliant, judges — they’ll be there for 40 years, some of them more," Trump informed, according to NBC News . “We will not allow faithful Americans to be bullied by the far left, we’re not going to allow it, and we get involved with many of these cases and nobody sees us coming. Very soon I’ll be taking action to safeguard students’ and teachers’ First Amendment rights to pray in our schools."
As Trump continues to aggressively fight for issues important to practicing Christians, his 2020 campaign is confident that evangelical voters will tip the scales in his favor in key battleground states, including Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and North Carolina.
Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, emphasized how the Florida rally indicates how important it is for the Trump campaign to garner the support of evangelicals as 2020 kicks off.
"I think it's significant that the president's first rally of the new year – an election year – is going to be about his evangelical support, and I think that demonstrates how critical that support is for the president's reelection in 2020," Jeffress stressed before noting that polls show his evangelical support remains strong … and then he addressed evangelical “never-Trumpers." “From the very beginning, there has been a small, but noisy group of evangelicals opposed to this president. They don't like him because of his tweets, or his temperament, or some other ridiculous reason."
Black & white on election day
It is argued that because Trump unapologetically promotes Christian values, he is the clear choice for evangelicals who want a president who will boldly uphold biblical principles from the Oval Office.
“Evangelicals for Trump are quite soundly embracing our moral witness because this November, one candidate will advocate infanticide, abortion on demand, socialism, penalizing churches, the redefinition of marriage and family, destruction of individual freedom, greater reliance on welfare, censorship, and the entire bucket list of the anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-freedom-loving liberal agenda,” a recent op-ed published in the Washington Examiner pointed out . “The other candidate will be Donald Trump.”
The president corroborated this rationale.
“Every Democratic candidate running for president is trying to punish religious believers and silence our churches,” Trump told the El Rey Jesús Church, according to NBC News. "This election is about the survival of our nation."
