Trump’s Evangelical Pastor Says North Korea Move Makes Stormy Daniels and Robert Mueller Scandals ‘Irrelevant’
“Evangelicals Know They’re Not Compromising Their Beliefs in Order to Support This Great President’ Jeffress Says
Texas megachurch pastor and Fox News contributor Robert Jeffress has pronounced judgment on the latest of President Trump’s scandals while praising him for agreeing to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
Jeffress, who serves on President Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Board, told Twitter that the Stormy Daniels story, including credible allegations that Trump has a months-long intimate relationship with the adult film star just after his son Barron was born, and the entire Robert Mueller investigation are “irrelevant” in light of the North Korea news.
Tonight’s historic announcement regarding North Korea is a direct result of President @realDonaldTrump’s strong leadership and proves how irrelevant Stormy Daniels and Robert Mueller are to what really matters.

Trump is actually not getting the greatest reviews of his decision to agree without conditions or any plan tom meet one-on-one with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Some experts says the president got “played” by giving up the one thing Kim wants the most: being legitimized by a visit from Trump.
Also late on Thursday Jeffress came under fire for saying “evangelicals know they’re not compromising their beliefs in order to support this great president. And let’s be clear, evangelicals still believe in the commandment, ‘thou shall not have sex with a porn star.'”
