And he promised, “We defend our Constitution. We protect religious liberty,” and, “We will defend our faith and protect our traditions.”
All of Trump’s religion-based remarks received tremendous response from attendees.
The President in recent weeks has attacked the LGBT community, especially transgender Americans. He has also mandated that the rights of people of faith will take precedence over the rights of LGBT people.Â
The Values Voter Summit is hosted annually by the Family Research Council, an anti-gay hate group that is dedicated to misinforming the public about LGBT people while advancing what the think is a Christian agenda.
