WaPo's Jennifer Rubin, a so-called conservative, decides to play Pope and excommunicate Evangelicals as hypocrites for defending Trump

Her Holiness Pope Jennifer
Because the original excommunication in the 16th Century just wasn't enough, you see. For excommunication to really mean something post-Holocaust, it has to come from the Jews.

Jennifer Rubin, WaPo's elitist "however" girl and answer to another so-called conservative, David Brooks at The New York Times, failed to shame Evangelicals into not voting for Trump, so now she presumes to shame them as the hypocrites they really are, here:

For now, however, these Trump supporters are mute at best, and some even stoop to defend Trump and Bannon. That suggests a permanent abrogation of their role as guardians of Judeo-Christian values. ... If, however, Christian conservatives are now making amoral, political calculations, they cannot very well set themselves up as arbiters of values or tell their congregants how faith should influence their votes. ... However, in embracing a candidate who painted an entire religion as the enemy, for a time wanted to ban all its adherents and favored a “Muslim registry” (!) these evangelicals have been revealed to be egregious hypocrites and, yes, even religious bigots. At least we know with whom we are dealing.

So there!

As if the political question just answered were the choice between Satan and Ste. Joan of Arc.

This example of liberal preening will keep Jennifer hopping in the party rotation right through the holidays, don't ya think?
